We will cross the highway (carefully), to a gravel road following Laurel Creek to a meadow. Easy/moderate 6 miles with two creek crossings. There are no rest rooms. They have a place to put a small donation for parking. Bring a lunch and water. Hopes for a beautiful day ...

I thought I would try something new. I think this will be a great experience. This trail can be found on All Trails. We will meet in the parking lot at the Gilmer County Recreation Center just past the pickleball courts. We will leave the parking lot at 9:05. Since we will carpool, I will need more than 1 person to drive. We will be stopping at the Woodstock Outlet Mall (I-575 exit 9) to meet up with my daughter Adrienne who will be leading the hike. We'll meet her in the outlet parking lot across from the Chick-fil-A. From there we will proceed to the East Palisades Trail and Bamboo Forest. There is a $5 dollar day pass fee. Make sure to pack a lunch and bring water. We could be back earlier than 4:00. The time is just an estimate.
