Daniela VickOctober 3, 2014Loved the peace and quiet, not a lot of ppl like on other trails i visited. however the trail was not marked properly so we got lost but luckly it was in the daylight. Good adventure :)
Aubrey RamonMarch 4, 2016The heart of metro Atlanta. Basically reaches just about every city & town in metro-Atlanta. Get out on The Hooch & enjoy nature.
Jon DarveauJune 3, 2016Get your hike on! Lots of hiking trails in this disconnected park and generally pretty quiet
Michael FisherApril 20, 2013New section adds 3 mis with lots of hills, making this a 6 mi hike with more elev gain :-)
Ashley GableAugust 7, 2012Around 3 miles of trails, not including the fitness trail...call the Buford Dam hotline before you go to make sure you don't get washed away!
Snakes are abundant this year. Watch your pets and yourself around the edges in ivy etc. Hello Miss Copperhead.
Amazing park! Live the trails by the river and through the upper woods.

"Really nice trail. They spread wood chips so it is very soft. Great for running. Plus is covered with trees so will be cool, even on a hot day."

"7 miles of trails, more if you go off the beaten path. Intermediate trails, advanced if you look for the challenging cut offs and like to climb. Bring water and your dog (dogs require a leash)."
Renee North - 7.4
"A lot of different trails, you can easily choose how long/short you want to hike and there are many maps along the way so you will always know where you are and how to get back."
