Itinerary: | |||||||
This hike will be an easy, moderately paced walk around a park little used by the AOC East Cobb Park is a local park that folks love for the wide asphalt loop around the park, the children's playground, the pavilions, the open grassy areas, and the wooded trails that can add some interesting variety to the route for those who want to be more adventurous. We will venture across a creek bridge to the far end of the park, where the trail actually connects to Fuller's Park, a large athletic park off Robinson Road. Although most of the hike will be flat, there is a bit of elevation on the trails through the woods. A hiking pole will be helpful if you have problems walking on uneven paths. We'll gather in the upper parking lot near the pavilion by the stairs and we'll then make our way down to the asphalt path. This is a great hike for true beginners and for those who can't handle elevation or speed. It will NOT be a hike for those who want to get in a workout. (You can jog around the loop after we finish our hike if you want to work up a sweat!) We won't be going fast, and the route isn't challenging. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on leash at all times. There are bathrooms close to the park entrance. | |||||||
