Event details

Join our guided Trail Blazer walk on Saturday, June 7 at 8:30 am when we explore the Johnson Ferry North trail with our guide, Jack Misiura, Chair of the Sandy Springs Conservancy.

The Johnson Ferry North trail, part of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, is on the Cobb County side of the river just after Johnson Ferry Rd crosses over the river on the right. The 1.8 mile beginner-friendly trail goes through hardwood forest, catches beautiful river views, visits a small waterfall and large cave outcropping, and explores a marshy, wildflower-filled wetland.

We’ll meet in the parking lot on the northeast side of Johnson Ferry Rd and the Chattahoochee River. The trail is natural and not paved. Wear good walking shoes. Bring bug spray and hats if desired.

National Park Service daily parking pass is $5. Passes are available online or onsite, credit card required.

Space is limited. Register here: Register TB – Sandy Springs Conservancy

Chattahoochee RiverLands Pedestrian Trail Bridge

The City of Smyrna and Trust for Public Land are exploring a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge across the Chattahoochee River. This bridge could improve connections between existing and planned trail systems in Smyrna and Atlanta while creating new opportunities for recreation, mobility, and access to the river. Share your input on project priorities, potential uses, and how this connection could serve the community.
