Itinerary: | |||||||
Trena's away, but we will still play! Gold Branch is an exciting trail to hike. We will be near the shoreline for much of the hike, making for some very scenic views. There are hills throughout the park, though not are terribly long. We'll wait at the top for everyone, so don't fear being left behind. Hiking poles will definitely help if you have them. 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 leash at all times. The reputation of the AOC depends upon members adhering to the park rules. There are no bathroom facilities at Gold Branch, so use a bathroom on the way or be prepared to use trees. (There's a MacDonald's on Lower Roswell Road just 100 yards from Johnson Ferry Road that's a convenient place to stop on your drive.) | |||||||

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Branch is on Lower Roswell Road, between Johnson Ferry Road and Wileo Road. The sign is very easy to miss, because it's between some exclusive residential areas and is hidden until you are right at the entrance. If you're coming from Johnson Ferry Road, it's on the right, about 2 miles from Johnson Ferry. If you're following Azalea Drive and turn left onto Wileo, be aware that Wileo becomes Lower Roswell Road when you go through the roundabout. The park is 2 miles further down Lower Roswell - - on your left. Remember, it's very easy to pass right by it, so slow down and look for the little turn-off after 2 miles!
