Itinerary:

Unwind from the daily grind this evening with a hike on the scenic South Peachtree Creek Trail at Mason Mill and Medlock Park.

We will meet in front of the restrooms/playground at Mason Mill. Please arrive a few minutes early for checking in and introductions.

Since traffic in Atlanta is unpredicatable, and if you're already on your way, please call. The trail is pretty well-defined, so you can easily catch up with the group.

Beginners are welcome.

Small to medium sized and well- behaved dogs are welcome.

The South Peachtree Creek Trail was built by the Path Foundation. The concrete and elevated boardwalk trail meanders along and over the creek and has slight elevation changes. So, if like me, you'll be working all day, or if you're a beginner to hiking, this will be a moderately easy 4 mile hike - 2 miles along the new portion of the trail towards Druid Hills, and 2 miles on the original trail to Medlock Park.

Required Items to Bring:

Comfortable walking shoes

Flashlight or headlamp

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

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

The address for Mason Mill is

1340 McConnell Dr., Decatur, GA 30033

Directions:
1. From the I-85 "Clairmont Road" Exit (Exit #91) in NE Atlanta, take Clairmont Rd southward ( toward Decatur) about 2.3 miles to the traffic light at McConnell Drive. (This is the next light south of the big Clairmont/ North Druid Hills intersection. If you reach the huge VA Hospital, you've gone a couple of blocks too far!)

2. Turn Left onto Mc Connell Drive, go just 0.1 mile, and turn Right at the stop sign to stay on McConnell. (Note the small "Mason Mill" directional sign here.)

3. Then turn Left almost immediately at the "Mason Mill Park" entrance sign into the large free parking lot. We'll gather by the stone Restroom building near that main entrance adjoining the children's playground.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.
