Over 5 miles of beautiful trails with good views of the Chattahoochee and some marshland. The trails were well maintained and feature a good variety of inclines. There is a $3 daily parking fee. We saw 3 deer on the trail who let us observe them from a distance. Glad to see a healthy population here. I noticed over 5 dog poop bags on the trail left by disrespectful dog owners. The bags are for you to pick up after your dog and carry them to the disposal bin provided for you at the trailhead. When you litter our landscapes like this, you disrespect others whom you share the trail with and fecal matter runs off with the rain into the Chattahoochee river where people go fishing, boating, and swimming. Have some respect and pick up after your dog. How would you like it if someone put bags of poop on your lawn for you to pick up?

Really fun and complex hiking trail. Very good to bring your dog. Also very good to get a good cardio work out. Would not recommend for trail running unless you are an expert level trail runner. Lots of roots and slippy spots if you are running, but if just hiking, no reason to pass it up! Fairly cool even in the summer as its almost completely covered by trees. Enjoy!

Used to be a pretty nice park but there is dog turd everywhere on my last hike. The trail smells like dog turd, the river section smells like wet dog, and the peace and quiet is broken by dog barks and dog fights breaking out on the trails. High traffic seems to have sent the wild creatures away or theyre hiding. Havent seen any deer or river turtles or muskrat for example.

Very good trail. I did the whole 3.2 miles here. Its good and well marked. Enough parking space. You have option to cut down on your miles depending how much you want to hike. Closest to the city, a plus. I recommend it.

A little flatter than some of the other chattahoochee trails. Goes along the river at a very wide point so that the water even looks still. Some open spaces are available for picnicking and hammock-ing.

Great trail through a wetland and along the bank of a secluded cove before a view across the large lake and river.. I only covered about half of the trails so I look forward to getting back soon.

A great set of trails with many loops and different routes you can go. The longest loop has a good bit of water frontage on the back lakes and channels of the Chatttahooche River.

Great Trail to take the family and kids on. Challenging for beginners and kids but fun. Theres also a hidden car shell out here as well. Great place to run, hike and explore.

This is a really great trail. Nice views, peaceful and quiet. Very well labeled trails. In the summer when the foileage is denser you almost cant tell youre in the city!

Dogs are usually off leash here, but they are always friendly. The trail itself is beautiful for a 30 minute walk or a four hour hike.

A great place for a walk in the woods. The outer perimeter trail is 3.25 miles, partly on the water of Morgan Falls lake.

An excellent hike! Not great for biking. The trail gets narrow and rugged at points. Some steep inclines. Beautiful scenery!

Beautiful, nicely marked, some of the steps are disintegrating and the metal spikes stuck out of the ground in some places

Hiking trail with a higher degree of difficulty than some of the others in Roswell. Nice place to hike with your dogs.

A few rugged narrow paths, but plenty of routes of various distances up to about 5 miles. Great views of the river.

Nice, hilly trails right by the river. I recommend getting the annual pass if you plan on coming often.

Winding trails near the river make it easy to forget youre in a city.
