* THIS EVENT IS SUBJECT TO LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION * If you're looking for a fun way to chill out on a Thursday evening, why not join us for a hike in the hidden gem of Simpsonwood Park located in beautiful Peachtree Corners! You'll get to enjoy the scenic views of the forest, the river, and maybe even some deer! We'll hike and wander around 2 +/- miles on the twisty trails of the park at a leisurely pace. And if you have a furry friend, bring them along too! Just make sure they're on a leash:) Simpsonwood Park is a secret spot in the lovely neighborhood of Peachtree Corners. Not many people know about it, but it's a great place to escape the city and connect with nature. You can see Jones Bridge Park across the Chattahoochee River, and watch the wildlife on the water. The park is also home to a lot of deer, so keep your eyes peeled for them on the trails and fields. We'll meet at 6:50 PM in the parking lot of Simpsonwood Park, on the left side, near the restrooms and the entrance. There's more parking near the field if you need it. Parking is free, so no worries there. (Hiking distance and finish time is only an approximate estimate. Please be flexible) https://atlnature.com/blog/simpsonwood-park - Notes - 1.
