5 /5 D-Ray: A Beautiful two day, (today & Friday) for a walk in the park. Go early in the summer to beat the heat. Plenty of walkers, joggers, bikers, dogs. But, not overly crowded. I noticed the concession stand opened today, also. I crossed the bridge over the Etowah River to go to Heritage Park on the other side. Easy riding or walking with kids, too.There is plenty of free parking. There is also a kayak launch here, if thats more your style.
