About This Trail

Imported description

Civil War ruins, Secluded ponds, and waterfall are listed as difficult due to rocky and steep terrain. The white trail is mostly roadbed. The park has hiking trails and is close to downtown Atlanta. The ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company are included in the hike along the creek. The mill made clothing for the Confederate troops before it was burned. There are many overlooks along the creek, including one at the junction of the red and white trails.
