Johnson Ferry - Marietta (GA)

5 /5 Michael OB: Wonderful and beautiful place to go hiking, fishing, kayaking, tubing, etc... Make sure to read the sign in the parking lot carefully. There is a $5 per vehicle charge to park (put slip in windshield), but it is very easy to miss that notification and the police do come and check. Regardless, it is a very well maintained area and the proceeds help to keep it that way.

5 /5 Pamela Berry: So much fun! You can see end big houses on the river. You can rent bikes which is what we did and the first hour is free. If you are in ATL and want a break from the city this is a great way to Get it. It’s something that is just simple trail but there is so many creeks and mountains.

4 /5 David Bohanon: If you want a flat ~2 mile round trip walk with limited river views and no restrooms/water, yet a nearby picnic pavilion, this might be for you. Not many people come so its pretty quiet and people with dogs like to use it as there is an open field near the pavilion to throw balls/sticks. Its not great but worth checking out. Paths are wide enough for two to walk side-by-side.

5 /5 Erin S.: Short “hiking” trail. The hiking trail is about .75 miles each way. This is mainly for getting to the river and not for hiking. Still, it’s a pretty area and a nice quick walk. A little portion at the end of the trail was closed for revegetation and erosion control as of 6/14/2020.
