Rescheduled from Jan 29

Only half an hour west of Atlanta lies Sweetwater Creek State Park, hosting 15 miles of trails and its namesake, Sweetwater Creek, which should truly be considered a river for its size and character. This creek joins the Chattahoochee River just downstream from the park boundary. We’ll take one of the paths less traveled to enjoy a range of ecosystems and native trees – from beaver-chewed Sweetgums and Sweetleaf in the floodplains, to old growth Chestnut Oak and Hickories on the ridges. Winter is a great season for learning to identify trees by their bark patterns and growth forms. The trail we’ll walk has a high diversity of tree species native to the Georgia Piedmont.

We’ll walk approximately 3.5 miles on well-used natural trails. Parts of the trail are fairly flat along the creek, with some sections climbing and descending moderate hills, a few with steeper slopes.
