Itinerary:

Please join me in hiking Jones Bridge, one of the Chattahooche River National Recreation Area parks.  We will start at the parking lot and head towards the trail heading south along the river, then turn away from the river and hike into the forest.  There are some mild climbs but nothing too strenous.   

Our hike will be approximately five miles in length and we will be on the trails for two hours. The pace will be a moderate 2 1/2 miles per hour.

We should see waterfowl on the river and may view some fishermen and small boats.  The park is very popular with kayakers.  

Dogs are permitted but they must be leashed at all times.  Please only bring dogs that are friendly both around other dogs and hikers.

Restrooms are available at this location

Please arrive early in order to purchase your parking pass, if needed, and use of restroom.  We will leave the parking lot prompty at 6:00

There is a $3.00 parking fee - please see the Kiosk at the end of the parking lot - or if you have an annual pass even better.  Annual passes can be purchased at CRNRA headquarters at Island Ford Park or online.  https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm

Please leave all valuables at home - there have been instances of vandalism to cars!!!
