    Nice place hidden not too far away from Sandy Springs. Trails are easy to complete and are well marked. Got to see a snake once by the river bed so people on trail watch your path and be attentive. Parking is free, restrooms are clean and well maintained. Overall a good place to spend half a day.

    Easy accessible place, big parking, clean restroom. There many hiking paths, shorter and longer and in my option all easy. Appreciate such access to the nature in the city even in some parts while walking you could hear cars. And I was missing place to park and lock my bike:-(
