Itinerary: | |||||||
We will first hike North Bowmans Island and then follow some use trails along the riverbank of the Chattahoochee. After a lunch break on some rocks right beside the river, we will proceed to the South Bowman Island trails. We will make a loop there, and back to the river and north to the parking area. Total hiking time should be about 3-4 hrs and total distance about 7 miles. We will be enjoying a leisurely pace. The terrain is fairly flat with just a few moderate hills and a couple of short steep riverbank sections. We will most likely see some deer and some aquatic wildlife...well at least few squirrels for sure... | |||||||
