Reviews
"For a recreation area managed by the national park service (and for a $5 parking fee), I was a bit disappointed. The trails have no blazes or markings, so I had to constantly refer to strava to see where to go and even then took a wrong turn a few times. I was very confused when the trail came out of the woods and brought be through an affluent neighborhood. The lower trail that went along the river was closed for restoration but there was no warning of that at the trailhead, only when you start walking and come to the first turn was there a sign. Overall a beautiful area, saw lots of deer, views of the dam and river are nice, but was really confused by the decisions not to have blazes and to have the trail go through a neighborhood."
"Nice trail, not too much incline - a little muddy if recently raining so be mindful of slipping. Lots of lookouts to the river, lovely views. Plenty of wildlife to admire, flora and fauna. Different trails to follow but I usually take the path nearest to the water. Well kept restrooms and plenty of parking."
"Shady trails offer a nice visit and look fairly well-kept. Much of the trail follows along the banks of the Chattahoochee River. The main highlights are the "tree tunnels" near the beginning and four footbridges crossing over small streams. It's about a 2 hour walk to see everything and circle back. Further up at Lower Pool West are sheltered picnic tables with their own grill, a boat ramp and fishing spots by the parking lot."
"Parking is limited although there is plenty of parking and restroom just 100 yards away. The hiking trail is approximately 3 miles roundtrip and it's well-kept, except for one portion where you need to climb the bridge rails to continue on the trail. The trail follows the river and you can see many fishermen in the water. Overall, the hike is great and peaceful and not too busy."
