Itinerary:

We're going to be hiking through property owned by the City of Roswell on this hike - - around the Roswell Mill Area.  We'll hike through a little residential area, along Oxbo Road, through the Waller Extention trail, and along the river on a trail owned by the City of Roswell.

This will be a brisk trek.  The pace will be moderately fast, so this is NOT a beginner hike.  (Look for my No-Excuses hikes that will be more suitable for newcomers.)

We will start the hike promptly at 10:30 am, so please arrive 5-10 minutes early to allow time to buy a parking pass and meet your fellow hikers. The terrain is hilly with some short, steep ascents.We'll allow 3 members with dogs on the hike, so if three dog-people are already registered, please do not add yours.  Dogs should be able to keep up the pace and should be kept on a leash at all times  Since we will be hiking at a relatively fast pace, it is important NOT to have dogs running loose on the trails, presenting a tripping hazard to our participants.  If your dog doesn't like to be on a leash, please do not sign up for the hike. 

There are bathrooms available right off the parking lot at this location.

  • water
  • good hiking shoes (a must!)
