Join the National Park service and enjoy wildflowers, wildlife, and learn more of the area’s natural and cultural history.  This is a leisurely hike along a very level floodplain.  Like much of the river corridor, this area has been used by humans for over 10,000 years.  Perhaps farmed for centuries, Native Americans once lived on this land.  It was the site of the Judge Eugene Gumby’s horse farm.  Today it boasts a returning young bottomland forest and important river bottomland wetlands.  The wetlands attract more birds and a greater diversity of birds than other habitats.  Along the edge of the river, you will see old water oaks, river birch, and sycamores. We will discover plants used by the indigenous people and early settlers for food, medicine, and dye.   Join us and discover this wonderful wildflower and wildlife viewing area.Location: Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Cochran Shoals Unit – Columns Drive, 152 Columns Drive SE, Marietta, Georgia, 30068. Facilities: At the parking areaDifficulty:  Fairly leisurely with one moderate uphill climb from the creek.
