Nice paved path outside. The employees knew history about all the animals there and explained why they couldnt be released back into the wild. Beautiful flowers. Cute gift shop. Great stuff downstairs to do when the weather doesnt permit going outside. Make sure to check when they are doing presentations inside too, you get to get up close to an animal and learn about it. Great for homeschooling kids!

Their scan and pay parking system has been compromised. My card shows a payment of 5 dollars processed in NM for the parking and another charge of 60 in NM. Today I was charged twice for two different amazon purchases.

This was a beautiful trail system. I live close by so I walked there with my dog, but there was ample space for parking if I had chosen to drive. The trail is part of the National Parks System, so it is a pay area ($5.00, free for people with permanent disabilities and they give you a decal to place on your dashboard upon payment).The Allenbrook House is at the main entrance of the park. I didnt go inside, Im not sure if you actually can. But it belonged to a couple who owned an Ivy Mill during the Civil War and now belongs to the parks department.There are different options as to which trails you can take along your way, some more difficult than others, but overall it it was a great hike; not too long or strenuous. I was led to believe according to the maps along the trail that there was a bridge connecting me to the way out, but I was mistaken, as it was the bridge of the roadway above, so one would have to essentially turn around and hike their way back to their vehicle.*I only took my dogs leash off for the photo.

We loved this hike! Theres not much parking here and the location can be difficult to get on and out of but that means its also not as busy as the Mill (thats less than a mile from here). We will definitely explore this trail again!

Lovely park to kayak from especially if you have a trailer. I love the dedicated angled trailer slots.

Very easy to access trail, there is some elevation but generally manageable. This is an excellent day hike. There are rocks along the river and plenty of spots to stop and relax. The waterfall is gorgeous. I would highly recommend an afternoon here followed by a picnic along the river or in the park.

Very small walking area, but if you are doing rock repelling I guess this is a good spot to go. Not designed for any distance. $5 to park as well.

Absolutely beautiful this time of year. The Mountain Laurel are in full bloom and the rich yellow Butterweed are flowering along the trails.

Some paths can be iffy... The trails arent always well defined and makes you wonder if its an actual trail or not...

Amazing gem right in Roswells back yard. Hiking, climbing, rappelling, fishing, and all within a few min of downtown Roswell.

A great local hike. You can bring your kids and your dog. Walk along the river and explore the waterfall. Parking is difficult but if you cant find parking at the Mill, park at riverside park.

Its such a beautiful hike. So many trails in the heart of the burbs of Atlanta. Some trails are even challenging!

This is a wonderful park. Trails can sometimes be overgrown due to lack of maintenance. Great fall colors. Historic Allenbrook house and actually remnants from old railway. Cool cave and views of Big Creek

Well kept. Clean. Several options for playing outside, in the water or just a picnic.

Love the random awesome cliff and the creekside views but they could really do with trimming the foliage along the path every once in a while. The tick risk can get pretty significant but the views from both above and below the rockface are gorgeous. If youre lucky, youll encounter the occasional climber rappelling up the craggy wall of stone.

Fun way to waste a few hours with friends or in solitude as the river slowly drift you downstream. Its not a far distance but can easily go upwards of 3 hours. Remember to tie anything valuable down. Ive lost a cell phone and a Bluetooth speaker and gave up on em both. Water is murkey af.
