Itinerary:

This is rescheduled from Wednesday, 4/29. The weather looks great for Thursday, so let's do it!!!

This is my favorite "Roswell area" hike. The trails have a lot of ups and downs to give our legs and hearts a great work out. We will do the outer loop trails as well as a few of the inner trails in order to get in our total mileage of 6 miles. Most of the hike is along the water's edge and really beautiful.

The pace will be fast, so this is not a hike for beginners.

Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions. Also, you have until 5:00 on the day of the hike to remove yourself if something comes up.Moderate

Just a reminder - there are no restrooms here! And don't forget your parking pass or $3 for parking.

Required Items to Bring:

WATER
Comfortable hiking shoes
Parking pass or $3 for parking fee

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

Hiking poles
Snacks if you think you'll be starving
