Itinerary:
Located on the Emory Campus, Lullwater Park is a favorite place for trail runners, dogwalkers, and fishermen.  Lullwater is home to numerous families of turtles, ducks and geese, as well as a blue heron and at least one owl.

We will gather in the parking lot of "The Clifton School Child Care Center" at 6:45 p.m. After brief introductions, we will head off to Lullwater Park.

This will be an easy 3 mile hike around Candler Lake and across the suspension bridge, making a loop behind the VA center, and then down along South Fork Peachtree Creek toward Hahn Woods. We will stop for photos at the old mill ruins and waterfall.

At the far end of our hike we will cross Houston Mill Road down to the Hahn Woods nature preserve. We will head back to the parking lot around dusk.
