Itinerary:

We will start at the parking lot near the Fence Road entrance (south entrance). The plan is to start on West Meadow Trail, and pick up  the Ravine Loop Trail, around the loop, then pick up a section of the East Mulberry trail.  We can explore other sections as time permits.  Speed and distance will vary depending on the group pace.  The idea is to both get a workout, as well as take time to 'smell the flowers'.

It is somewhat hilly, so is almost a D3.  Part of the trail system is unpaved but we will hike much of the paved trail system.  The Ravine Loop Trail has been upgraded, so much of it is now paved and has steps in many places.

There is a good chance we will see deer and other wildlife.

We will also experience an excellent view of Gwinnett from the highest point in the county.
