Itinerary:
Much of our hike will be along the river, with some nice views and certainly some waterfowl sightings... and a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods where we will probably see some deer. The majority of the trail is in the shade which will be nice as the temps are climbing, going into the summer.

This should be a fairly good beginner hike, but also a decent little workout for those in even better condition. The distance will be about 5-6 miles with less than 500 feet of total ascent.

There is a $3 parking fee at the trailhead unless you have a Chatt park annual pass.
