Itinerary:

This unit of the Chattahoochee River offers a taste of rugged beauty from high, heavily wooded ridges above the water to sandy, lushly carpeted floodplains lines with ferns, willows, and bamboo.

We will be visiting some of East Palistades highlights like the bamboo forest, deck overlook, dog beach, river trail, and maybe even the Big Awesome Hill (BAH). Don't let this scare you off, we'll go at a slow pace.
