June 10: Sweetwater Creek State Park

Sweetwater Creek State Park is only minutes from downtown Atlanta. Join us along wooded trails that follow a spirited stream to the ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill burned during the Civil War. Trails climb rocky bluffs to provide views of beautiful rapids below & wind through fields and forest. Enjoy unique flora & fauna including ferns, amphibians, wild azaleas and reptiles. 

June 24: Red Top Mountain State Park

Join us on a walk at Red Top Mountain State Park and connect with the natural beauty of Lake Allatoona and explore the iron mining tradition and history of the Etowah Valley.

July 8: Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

Meet for breakfast at Mountain Biscuit Company at 7:00 am if you’re an early-riser, then join the group at the base of Little Kennesaw for a trek over the smaller mountain then up to the top of Big Kennesaw. Before Atlanta fell to General Sherman’s Union army in 1864, a fierce battle raged around the base and on the face of the mountains.
