Itinerary:

The Rottenwood Creek trail connects the Chattahoochee River trail in West Palisades with the Bob Callan trail and as you may have guessed it follows the Rottenwood Creek which powered the old Akers Mill and provides minor cascades for us to enjoy along the way for much of the hike.

There is a slight ascent from the river on the way out measuring 164 feet.

The hike is 100% pavement.

We will start at the restrooms (which are open) in the back of the Paces Mill Boat Ramp lot

Our speed will be up to 3.5 - 3.7 mph


Required Items to Bring:

Clothing (wear)

You are required to have a mask with you to use whenever you cannot social distance.  This is federal land so there is a requirement.

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

I suggest cushioned shoes such as running shoes for the pavement.

A stylish straw hat, gym shorts, and knee socks, are mighty fine.


How to Get There:
Event Directions:
