SINGLES OUTDOOR ADVENTURES (SOA) 45+ (couples wel

This is a beginner/intermediate hike. A couple of baby hills and a few steps but otherwise flat along the Chattahoochee River but I'd like to go at a moderate pace between 2.5 - 3.0 mph. It is not a run. 5.1 miles. You can find a copy of the trail map here:

https://www.crnra.vip/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jones-Bridge.pdf

We'll start with the little loop to see the old Jones Bridge and then walk along the water, loop back around the field and retrace our steps to get back to the car.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road. Restrooms are open/ Please remove all valuables visible in your vehicles because there have been acts of vandalism. There are 2 entrances to Jones Bridge coming from Holcomb Bridge. The first is the environmental center....don't turn here. Go to the next one. Go all the way to the end.

If you don't have an annual pass I suggest buying one on line. At Jones Bridge and all CRNRA parks there are no longer any envelopes and or normal credit card registration. You have to scan the bar code and enter your license plate, etc. etc. It doesn't work on all browsers so you may be doing a little downloading. Come early and be prepared or you won't be able start on time.

This event will be cancelled if it is raining.

This is a level 2 event: Moderate current, this is a workout.

This event is open to any form of paddling, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards.

This is an upstream event. Get some exercise without it feeling like exercise. Assuming the core of engineers does not do a large release, this is 90 minute upstream and float back. Total miles will be between 2 and 4 miles in each direction depending on interest.

We will start at the boat ramp at Azalea Park at 203 Azalea Dr, Roswell, GA 30075 at 8:30 (parking gets tough) and go up stream 2 - 4 miles towards 400. When you are tired just stop paddling, you will be carried back to your starting point.

We should be back around 11:30 and can grab a bite just up the road at Lucky's Burger & Brew 1144 Alpharetta St, Roswell, GA 30075.

You should make sure you bring drinking water and perhaps a snack. A PFD is required to be in your boat or on you.

If you do not have a boat, please post in the event that you would like to borrow a boat, I will let you use one if you help me load up at 7:30 at my house in East Cobb and unload after the event. Please comment in this event to say you would like to borrow one and I will contact you.

There is also a rental shop in Azalea park. Nantahala Outdoor Center - Roswell Outpost Phone: (770) 999-0625

Looking forward to meeting you

All of my paddles are deep water, no rapids.

Level 1 - Simple relaxation, no current
Level 2 - Moderate current, this is a workout
Level 3 - Significant current, this is a serious workout.

EVENT WILL OPEN 6 DAYS BEFORE EVENT SO CHECK YOUR WORK CALENDAR, CHECK YOUR HEALTH, CHECK WHAT EVER ELSE YOU MAY BE THINKING ABOUT DOING BEFORE YOU SIGN UP SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CANCEL LAST MINUTE.

Come get some morning fitness with 7.5 miles and over Kennesaw Mountain (one time). This is not a beginner hike. We go up and over and then around.

We are STARTING AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE OVERFLOW PARKING LOT (because parking is easier...and we get to walk more), we will stop for a bathroom break at the visitor center (but don't park there) then going over Big and Little KM and then onto the New Salem trail (across Burnt Hickory Road) and back around the east west trail.

This is an intermediate hike. The hard part is in the beginning getting over both big and little kennesaw mountain. We will take our time. Then when we hit the flats we will pick up the pace. We will be only climbing OVER the mountains one time.

Required Items to Bring: water, Possibly rain gear, lunch or snack on the trail when we take a short break.

PARKING Fees: $5 or an annual or day pass

Kennesaw Mountain Parking Fee - Per Vehicle Daily Fee - $5.00

This fee can be paid for online at recreation.gov. The visitor center is open but this is NOT where we are meeting. Allow extra time to buy pass. Parking is VERY difficult at the visitor center.

Kennesaw Mountain Entrance Fee - Per Vehicle Annual Fee - $40.00

This fee can be paid for online at recreation.gov.

Kennesaw Mountain NBP charges for entrance to the park. This is a per vehicle entrance fee. Any vehicle parked at Kennesaw Mountain will be required to purchase a $5 daily pass online or a $40 annual pass (online or at Visitor Center). Digital passes purchased online at Recreation.gov will be tied to a specific license plate; America the Beautiful Interagency Passes are also accepted.

An America the Beautiful pass is good here but a CRNRA pass is not even though they are both federal.

How to Get There:
Event Directions: 1) I-75 North to exit 267B Hwy 5 Canton Road Connector

2. If you are not heading west after getting off of the Interstate you are going the wrong way. You should be heading towards US 41 and downtown Marietta after getting off of I-75 onto the Canton Road Connector and see Kennesaw Mountain on your right.
3. You will be tempted to take the first exit off of the Canton Road Connector which is US 41, but do not take it. Proceed over US 41 on a bridge staying on the Canton Road Connector.
4. After crossing US 41 take a right at the first red light which is Church Street Extension.
5. You should cross railroad tracks soon.
6. Take a left onto Old 41 at the second red light. If you get to US 41 again, you have missed the turn onto Old 41 so turn around.
7. Park in the overflow parking lot farther down the road on the left.
