Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

 

The Gold Branch trail is one of the most popular trails along the North-end of the Chattahoochee River. This treasure was created in 1904 with the construction of the Morgan Falls Dam. The trail is located above the shores of Bull Sluice Lake.

This trail is perfect for moderate hiking with a few steep slopes, moderate rocky terrain and good old dirt hiking trails. We will be hiking approximately 5 miles in 2 hours, at a pace that will allow us to enjoy the trails. I look forward to hiking with everyone.
