Itinerary:

Wonderful Stress Relief! If you are a beginner and just getting started on your outdoor program, or an experienced hiker who just wants a peaceful evening stroll in the woods, this is a great little park and hike. A walk in Mason Mill Park is a great reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city, without having to drive to get out of the city.

We will walk along several creeks and streams, through some floodplains, past the old Decatur waterworks, through pine and hardwood forests, while we make our way along many trails. The hike will be approximately 4 miles in length, with the majority on dirt trails, so bring appropriate footwear with good traction.

There will be an optional dinner at the Mediterranean Grill, which is located at the intersection of North Decatur Rd and Clairmont Rd... only about a mile and a half from Mason Mill Park. The restaurant has very good, inexpensive food, and a very casual atmosphere.

Turn left on Mc Connell Drive and proceed about 100 yards to the stop sign. At the stop sign turn right and continue for about 200 yards... the park entrance is on the left. We will meet at the restroom facility at the playground which will be on the right after entering the park.
