Itinerary:

Please join me for a hike through the beautiful trails of Vickery Creek.

We will start on the Roswell side where the parking is free, cross the covered bridge and up into the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area Park. We will hike along the creek for a view of the dam and then over to the Oxbo Road bridge.

For those unfamiliar with Vickery Creek, the trails become somewhat technical in many places due to erosion that exposes roots and leads to difficult footing. This makes it a bit challenging for newer hikers. Poles are advised for some of the steeper hills. The pace will be steady pace with one quick stop at the bridge on Oxbo Road.

There are restrooms at this location.

Please arrive a few minutes early to check in as we will leave on time.

NOTE......We are meeting at the covered bridge.

Please do not forget plenty of water.

Required Items to Bring:

Water to keep you hydrated

Event Directions:

We are meeting behind the shops at the Roswell Mill Center where the parking is free. It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. Keep driving down the road until you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the hill.
