Itinerary:

Join us for about a 5 mile loop hike in Jones Bridge Park. Pack a lunch and at the end of our adventure, you can picnic with us as we overlook the Chattahoochee River.

This will be a moderate paced hike. Jones Bridge is known for mostly flat terrain, much of which parallels the Chattahoochee, but there are a few moderate hills thrown in to make it a little challenging.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road. Restrooms are available.

There is a $3 parking fee if you don't have an annual pass. Also note that there are two entrances to the park. The first is usually gated. The second entrance, further north on Barnwell Road, is where we will meet. More detailed directions are provided below.

Dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be on a leash no more than 6 feet in length and under the owners physical restraint at all times.

Required Items to Bring:

$3 parking fee or annual parking pass

Appropriate clothing for weather

Appropiate walking/hiking shoes

Plenty of fluid for adequate hydration

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Snacks, if desired
