***DO NOT USE YOUR CAR GPS TO GET TO THE START POINT***

Join us for a fun Wednesday Hike around Lullwater Park. Please make sure you use the directions provided and do not rely on your GPS.

We will use the following method to assist our newer members in reserving a spot on this newcomer hike: anyone who has been on 5 or less events is welcome to sign up as soon as the trip opens. If you have attended more than 5 events and would still like to go on this event, you can sign up and you will be placed on the waitlist. After the event registration closes, if there are still spots available we will move you back onto the event in the order you signed up. You will receive a confirmation email to notify those who make the list.

Emory University is one of the Southeast’s Premier Universites with over 22,000 people working on Campus; thankfully there are two great parks (Emory’s Lullwater Estate and Hahn Woods) to get away from the hustle and bustle of University Life.

We will be taking a variety of trails with little elevation and aim to get in at least 2-3 miles before it gets dark.

This is a dog friendly hike and I will allow up to 3 well behaved dogs.

Thanks to Charlie for the Directions and Mark for the photo!!

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

From the "SPAGHETTI JUNCTION" I-85 / I-285 INTERCHANGE in NE Metro Atlanta:

1) Take I-85 South toward Atlanta about 4 miles and exit at Exit #91 "Clairmont Road."

2) Turn Left onto Clairmont Road (US-23 southeastward toward Decatur) and go about 3.2 miles to the traffic light at Starvine Way (The Starvine light is less than a quarter mile past the huge VA Hospital and just north of the RR bridge over Clairmont.)

3) Turn Right onto Starvine Way and go 0.4 mile (through Emory's "Clairmont Campus" and a couple of stop signs) to the"Clifton School" on your Right. We'll meet near the steel & stone gate that blocks further passage along Starvine Way. Its signs say "Authorized Entry Only."

CAUTION for GPS USERS: Be sure to choose a route that ENTERS STARVINE WAY from CLAIRMONT ROAD, since the other (western) end of Starvine is restricted to Emory campus buses. FOR A CUSTOM MAP & DIRECTIONS or for GPS NAVIGATION:

Go to Google.com/maps or your vehicle's GPS system and input as your destination the following address or lat/lon of the Clifton School parking lot

"1900 Starvine Way, Atlanta, GA 30322."
Latitude/ Longitude: 33.7953,-84.3115
