Itinerary:

The Gold Branch unit of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area is a jewell in the middle of busy East Cobb.

We will meet in the parking lot, which is located off Lower Roswell Road. From the parking lot, we'll enter the woods and shortly make a moderate ascent, which will get our hearts working. Then we will do two or three ascents, depending on the trail chosen. There will be plenty of nice views of the river and Bull Sluice Lake. We will keep the pace rapid enough to get a good workout.

If we are lucky enough we could see a white swan, blue herons, Mallard ducks, Canadian geese, deer, and a large turtle catching a few ray.

Please note that there are no restrooms at this location.

Directions: the entrance on Lower Roswell is across from Asheforde residential subdivision.

Required Items to Bring:

$3 parking fee if you do not own an annual pass
