Name: Laurel Ridge Trail - Buford Dam Park - 4.2 miles - Moderate
Start: 2025-12-06T10:15:00-05:00
End: 2025-12-06T12:00:00-05:00
Location: Laurel Ridge Trailhead

This is a great little local trail, with some elevation, some woods, some stream & lake views, and even some super views of parking lots 😊. Mileage is about 4, but I plan to try to stretch that out a Tad bit more to get us safely over that amount.

The hike will start from the meeting place at 10:15a.m. in the Lower Overlook Road trailhead parking area. The meeting spot will be outside of the restrooms. This lot does not require a parking fee to the best of my knowledge.

Please note, I do like to and will start events on time so please do not be late for the consideration of all attendees. So, I recommend that you get there a good 10 minutes or so before.

Our group hikes at about 2.5 mph. Not a sprint, but not a crawl either. Please keep this in mind before joining this hike.

I'm really sorry, but doggies are not permitted on this trail. Not my idea, I promise. House rules.

Following the red pin posted on this event and it will get you to the right spot where we will meet using Google maps. Well, give or take a few yards but hey ...

Below is a helpful link that will provide some information about the trail itself. Please familiarize yourself and read the reviews to see if this is for you if you have not already hiked this trail. As always, if you have any questions in advance, please let me know what they are and I will do my best to answer them.
