Itinerary:

This park is a must if you've never seen it.   Don't let the name mislead you - - it isn't little!  It's expansive, the trails are well-maintained, and it's beautiful!  I wish it were closer to my stomping grounds in East Cobb!

For those wanting to carpool, we'll leave Indian Trail Park and Ride at 10 o'clock, and arrive at the park for the hike at 10:45.  Be on time!  If you're not at the Indian Trail Park n' Ride by 10, you'll have to get to the park on your own.  If you're not at Little Mulberry Park by 11 o'clock, we'll start the hike without you!

We'll move at a fast/moderate pace, with stops along the way for water, a snack, and photos. We want to cover the entire trail system, which is over 10 miles, in under 4 hours, including stops for a snack and photos.


Required Items to Bring:

Comfortable shoes, water, snacks, good attitude.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

A hat, sunscreen, insect repellant
