Join the National Park Service and Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy for a cool summer walk around Island Ford to observe areas in need of trail restoration to chat about the upcoming trails plan for Island Ford. We will walk to Falling Branch to discover the amazing stream life. Make sure to grab your water shoes or closed toe sandals for a splish-splashing good time. We will conclude by walking along the edge of the river where you might see geese, ducks, a great blue heron fishing in the shallows or maybe a Midland Water Snake. Wonderful wet excitement awaits. We might catch a glimpse of an Osprey or a even a Bald Eagle. All youth must be accompanied by an adult.
Facilities: Located in the Hewlett Lodge Visitor Center
Difficulty: Fairly easy walking on level ground around the pond. Slippery rocks and mud in and along
