Rather, it is a wooded area with multiple mapped out trails, and some that are not mapped. You can spend a couple of hours here or all day and hike up to the Cherokee County line if you wanted to. There are multiple abandoned structures which were cool. The kids enjoyed playing in and around them and are there plenty of "off the beaten path" places to explore. People also bring their horses and bikes here, as it can get pretty muddy after a rain. I have also seen people doing photoshoots in this picturesque park.

Then you travel down a winding dirt road till you get to a clearing with a marked map (and trees) to keep you on your path. This is not a, swing on the monkey bars, slide down the slide, park. This is an amazing park with hiking trails that literally go over the river (stream) and through the woods. Lots of different trails of varying degrees of difficulty. Great for a stroll, or actual exercise, if that's your thing. There's a wide open field with a cute barn, great for photos, that's about a 5 min walk from the parking place. There's also a little creek that runs down the middle of mountains, one steep, the other more gradual. This park has so many different types of trees, flowers, and mushrooms, and insects, with little plaques that let you know about the local greenery and wildlife. Also. YOU CAN BRING HORSES TO TRAIL RIDE! Horses!! We love going bc the kids almost always get to say hello to a horse or 4. Overall, just a really fun outdoor activity. So obviously touch all things at your own risk. General rule, take nothing but memories, leave nothing but foot prints... but we have picked some things for inspiring the kids in science. There's apps that identify plants, mushrooms, and rocks. I recommend having them. Pros -it's free. 100% free. -any skill level hiking -beautiful and calming -not too busy. -great open field with barn for pictures... or frisbee, running and singing songs about nature. Do you. -perfect picnic place -can hunt for mushrooms -can trail ride on horseback (byoh bring your own horse) Cons -a little hard to find the first time That's it. This places is a winner.

The park offers everything--picnic benches, grills, bridge access, a playground, walking trails, and multiple stairways leading right to the river (seven in total!).

I love visiting it with my husband just before sunset. We saw so many kids playing in the spider web climbing thing and the play area. There was a birthday party going on and the park was filled with folks of all ages. Trails: A little walk on the left leads you to the dam(falls) and it's a very quiet and serene path to walk or jog. There are 2-3 trails around the park but a bit rugged, so I recommend going when there's plenty of daylight. Parking spots are plenty and the park is pet-friendly. Fun fact: Atlanta Astronomy Club conduct star gazing events at this park. Check their website for more information!

Just a picture perfect place to relax and take in the sites.

It's kind of amazing that we even have a real waterfall so close to the city of Atlanta. Parking was kind of limited but we were able to make it work. So overall I have no complaints and enjoyed my time here.

Definitely friendly for littles and families, but you should obviously be cautious as you get to the top by the rocks and seats.
