Andrea, I think your shot shows the Wildwood/Powers Ferry area.

Thanks, Hybrid. Yes, you are right.

That's such a great trail, by the way, to still be within I-285. It feels like you've gone up in the mountains.

^ I agree & the cliffs over the river are surprisingly tough. Someone told me recently they closed that part off - is that true?

Brad, I don't know. We were up there Sunday morning (when I snapped that photo) but we took the trail around the cliffs because of our dogs. However, I later met a guy who had just come across the cliffs. He didn't say anything about them being closed off but if they are he could have just jumped the rope.

Here's a more artsy cut of the same photo, by the way, which gives a better idea of how beautiful it is out there.

Forgive me for being "dumb" but what/where is this area that the picture is? I definitely want to visit here next time in Atlanta!?

That is near the Chatthoochee River, either the I75 brigdge or the where I285 crosses the river near Powers Ferry.

That specific park has to be accessed by exiting on Northside Dr between I75 & I85 in Atlanta. Across the river is another great hiking trail in Cobb County - at Northside Pkwy. Two other park trails to check out along the river is in Roswell & Sandy Springs (Dunwoody).
