Itinerary:

Join me for a hike at Island Ford. We will park at the first parking lot (enter through park entrance gate and make immediate left into parking lot). We will NOT be hiking the Lollipop Loop. Will start hike by heading towards trail along banks of Chattahooche, head towards visitor center, quick loop around pond and then back to our cars. Great hike for beginners, very little elevation. Just about 4 1/2 miles.

Trip Leader requests that everyone abide by recommendations for social distancing. Masks optional.

Will be hiking at a moderate pace, not super fast but not a stroll either

Currently the $5 daily parking fees are being waived by the CRNRA - not sure when they will start enforcing the $5 - be prepared with $5 or your annual CRNRA parking pass just in case.

There are no restrooms at this location - please plan accordingly.

$5 cash daily parking fee unless you have annual pass displayed in your vehicle

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking shoes/boots

Water
