Vickery Creek

With the kids in school, we had a few hours to kill so we headed to a local trail just outside of Atlanta. Vickery Creek at the Roswell Mill is a great place to check out. There is an old mill, miles of hiking, and a beautiful waterfall. The trail has many posts with trail maps and there are several routes you can take to make it longer or shorter. I’ll admit, it gets a little confusing on which way you should go. There are at least 5 miles of trail here if you follow them all. You can park either at the Vickery Creek or Riverside Park. If you are not sure how long you want to hike, park at Vickery Creek and you’ll be at the covered bridge and a short walk over to the waterfall. This is a busy spot so I recommend going on a weekday if possible. It is one of the best hikes in the Atlanta area.

I am a wife and mother to 3 trying to bring my family along while we explore as much of the outdoors as we can. My husband has always been into ultralight backpacking and hiking. I have always loved hiking and car camping. Together, we are blending our interests and exploring new ideas while seeing all the beauty we can possibly squeeze into our time.
