Itinerary:

Douglas County's Boundary Waters Park is a 500-acre facility adjoining the Chattahoochee River, just SE of the city of Douglasville (about 25 miles SW of Atlanta, mainly via I-20).  Much of this beautiful park has been set aside for a multi-use trail system suitable for hiking, running, biking and horseback riding. Other portions of the park are dedicated to sports including swimming, baseball, soccer, etc.
The park offers three scenic trails, Blue, Yellow and Red.
We will meet in the parking lot at the back of the Acquatic Center.  We will hike parts of a paved access trail and the Red and Yellow trails.
