Itinerary:

Let's have this week's Monday morning hike in a great park that I've recently been introduced to - -  Charleston Park. (Thank you, Richard Z.!) This is a trail that is used for both mountain biking as well as hiking. The 5+ mile trail meanders around a cove on Lake Lanier, and has several small and gradual elevation changes.The trail is not terribly wide so we will walk against travel direction of bikes. Everyone will need to be prepared to move out of the way quickly should bikers approach. 

I'm not terribly familiar with the trails, but there are signs, so we should be able to find our way around.   I've added 1/2 hour to the hike to enable us to complete both the inner and outer loops of the park, which cover all the trails.

The area is beautiful, with lots of views of Lake Lanier.

Comfortable hiking shoes

Fluids - - a must!
