Allatoona Creek Park (2026)

With nine separate trail systems totaling over 30 miles, two of which have views of Allatoona Lake, this is a varied and interesting park. About The Hike: Distance: \~ eight miles Time: \~ 3 1/2 hours Skill Rating: Moderate Pace = 3 - 3½ miles per hour; intermediate to advanced hikers only please Special Equipment = None needed, though walking poles might help Food: As usual, we'll do a five-minute stop to grab something to eat, so please bring water and lunch/snacks Kids/Pets = No pets please, but children that can keep the posted pace are encouraged to attend Meeting Times/Directions: The trailhead is located off of Old Stilesboro Road, which is about ten minutes north of Kennesaw Mountain. There are multiple ways to get there, though I find taking the 75 route the fastest. There is a huge parking lot, so no problem parking. Please meet near the picnic benches. And don't forget: We'll go to a restaurant or brewery after the hike, usually Marlowes for this location. See you on the trail! Charlie
