Itinerary:

Join me for an after work stroll along the Chattahoochee River at Island Ford. This is my favorite unit of the CRNRA and houses the park headquarters. We'll wander along the river and back up in the woods at a leisurely pace, taking time to enjoy the sights and take pictures. There are some elevation changes, but we'll take them slow. Distance will be no more than 3 miles (probably less, depending on stops), and I plan to be done before dark (by 8pm).

We will meet in front of the park headquarters building, all the way at the end of the road.

Don't forget your parking fee ($3 cash, exact change) or annual pass. The restrooms close at 5pm, so make your restroom stop before you arrive.

Required Items to Bring:
$3 parking fee, CASH in EXACT CHANGE
Good hiking/walking shoes or boots
Water

Recommended Items to Bring:
