Itinerary:

Yes, one can hike at the Kennesaw Battlefield without climbing the mountains. This third section of the park is the least traveled, but it provides an excellent trail for moderate hiking. Our pace will be steady (no fitness hiking, please!) to give us an opportunity to talk as we hike and stop occasionally for pictures and water. If the distance doesn't present a challenge, come join us. The terrain is varied, with undulating hills . . . but nothing seriously steep.

We will start our hike promptly at 10:00 am in the parking lot off of Dallas Highway (Whitlock Ave. if you're coming from Marietta) and hike the 5.5. mile loop trail, winding our way through a variety of landscapes that go all the way to Powder Springs Road (Kolb Farm) before beginning the second half of the loop back.

The promo picture above shows the sign at the entrance to the road off Whitlock Avenue.

A parking fee of $5 is required. Please pay in advance online at https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/2788

There are bathrooms at the parking lot.

Required Items to Bring:

Good shoes and water
