    Canton is by no means close but if I was hankering to find a good park to walk my dog and had oodles of time, I'd be back. It's a very well maintained park with lots of pavement and shade. I'd say it's about a 3 mile perimeter from what I ran. But, and this is just my preference, I don't love running on concrete so this is why I say I'd come to walk the dog. It's very pretty here, and I love seeing all the green. There are a couple bridges, very short bridges, that offer a different terrain. It adds character to the park. There are a few benches with shade for sitting and talking/people watching. There are lots of poop bag stations and a big bathroom. Only thing is...could you please add some soap in there? Otherwise it was a clean restroom. I even saw portajohns somewhere along one of the trails. They also have a big pavilion for events and parties. I really wish this park were closer to my house. I love getting away from the busy roads for my runs but don't have much opportunity to do that.

    I'm so happy to have found this park! It has great walking trails, plenty of parking, and a lot of room to roam. There are paved sidewalks or dirt trails for you to choose from. In the front they also have a cecent sized playground area for kids. It also connects into the back of another park which creates even more space! Kudos to Canton on this one. It is dog friendly but be sure to keep your dog on its leash. They also have a couple of soccer fields and many benches to rest or chill out on.

    I usually go to JB Owens park but I wanted to try a new place this time. This park wasn't far and was easy to find! It wasn't crowded and there were several play areas for kids. It was clean and nice. My only complaint is that I wasn't aware there was a parking lot by the canoe ramp so I walked from the playground parking lot with my toddler in the gear and it was exhausting. We did find a painted rock and hid it in a new place, so my daughter loved that!

    Edge of the World is a great nearby walking trail that winds along Amicalola Creek. The trail is…read moremostly easy, with a mix of wooden walkways (watch out for a few holes) and dirt paths. There are also a few side trails that climb up the mountain if you're looking for a bit more of a challenge (including dodging Joro spiders!). The small waterfalls are beautiful, and the cool creek water is perfect for dipping your feet in on a warm day.

    Loved the Edge of the World! All I could think in my head was the song, it's the end of the world…read moreas we know it, & I feel fine. The Edge of the World is a landscape we never see. It was semi difficult hike just because we live in Florida and use to live in Illinois (AKA Flatland), but we did it. The easiest way to this is from the parking lot, walk to the left and walk down the stairs. Keep walking on the boardwalk and watch for holes in the boardwalk. When the boardwalk is done, keep walking and then you will come to trees, the trees have steps made from the trees, & carefully watch your step and go down. I actually scooted my butt down and then climbed the tree steps. It was not bad, just something I'm not accustomed to. You will see the water and rocks moving and it is just so beautiful. People walk through and sit in the water and take pics. Be careful when you walk through it can be slippery. We had water shoes. Water is so refreshing. We actually walked the long way, which is walking to the right of the parking lot to the start of the boardwalk. We didn't want to walk down the stairs bc they looked pretty steep. It really is amazing. I'd say you will be here about an hour or two. Parking is free and there are a bunch of signs you need a fishing license. Which we don't have. We just parked And walked!

    My husband and I went to the rodeo tonight. The show was great and as much as I was enjoying it,…read moreThe seating was awful. After being kicked about 50 times from people going up and down the bleachers I was done. Not to mention the amount of REALLY young kids walking back and forth. I have 3 kids of my own and I get they get board but when they are up and down the bleachers multiple times in an hour and I am getting kicked in the back (they are young, not babies) i am not happy. We also paid over $50 for our tickets combined. I was so frustrated I just left. You shouldn't have to tell grown people to watch their kids, but apparently you really should. It wasn't necessarily the park or the event that ruined it but the people that let their kids run wild. I never comment on kids but these were not babies, these were 10 plus that were constantly up and down the cheap bleachers and were totally distracting and also blocking the view. They did ask people that were standing in front to sit down at one point but that didn't help. Simple reminders throughout might help. I won't be going back anytime soon.

    Great park for joggers, kids (has playgrounds), party events (complete w/picnic tables & city…read morereservations) and great mountain bike trails. The main loop is flat dirt & gravel but the back trails are definitely for the advanced mountain bikers- so you will get a good work out. (The advanced uphill rugged terrain trails are comparable to Blankets Creek mountain bike trails also in Canton- only it's more desolate there so it can feel creepy if you're by yourself- you start to imagine bears and coyotes & snakes.) The good thing is there are always people around so it's safe park. There's tons of parking being its right next to the high school and on weekends there are always soccer teams playing or people going for a walk.

    Fall Branch Falls - The final place

    Relatively easy hiking trail to a waterfall in the Cherry Log/Blue Ridge area. Kids as young as 3…read morecan walk the trail. It's a pretty short trail to the waterfall approximately 1/2 mile. The cell service is poor getting to the trail so map it out before hand. Along the trail you will see a Glamping camp, which is very cute. Definitely would recommend as a family outing.

    I was finally able to get some lite hiking in. Fall Branch Falls was the perfect trail to get back…read moreinto it. All the Yelp Reviews are pretty spot on and all agree. A nice moderate trail deep in the woods, which I liked because the shade kept everything a little cooler. The trail is very easy to follow and not overly long. Caution needs to be taken as there are many tree roots extending above the ground and could easily cause a trip. Careful is key. A rise in elevation of approximately 300 feet over half a mile makes it a decent cardio walk. With many different trees, plants and flowers along the way. All culminating with a beautiful waterfall. Note: depending on the season and amount of rain will determine the amount of water coming over the falls. Two minor items that need to be corrected. 1. Yelp has the wrong address (or pin drop) I'm not sure which. Not even close. 6 more miles down a gravel road to be exact. I'll try and fix that. 2. Not one sign or directional indicating you're are heading in the right direction. But other than that a very enjoyable experience.
