Winter Walk at

                     Vickery Creek

                        Saturday, January 4th

                          1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Join National Park Service Naturalist Jerry Hightower for a wonderful winter walk above

Vickery Creek on the Forest loop Trail through an oak/hickory forest. From the Oxbo

Road parking area, we will walk along the creek, cross over the stream, and climb the

ridge. There will be several scenic vistas as we meander along the trail. With the leaves

mostly gone, we will be able to better appreciate the beautiful, rugged topography of this

area. Along the trail we will look for winter wildlife signs and identify some of the winter

native plants; so please join us.

Location: We will meet in the parking area and trail head in the City of Roswell Park on Oxbo Road. From the Historic Roswell Square travel north on Atlanta Street (Hwy 9) and Oxbo Road is at the bottom of the hill on the right.

Facilities: None

Difficulty: This hike is leisurely, but has a moderately strenuous uphill section at the start. These walks are quite slow with numerous stops to discuss items of interest along the way.

Note: This walk is not suitable for very young children.

Bring: Remember to dress for the weather and wear very comfortable hiking shoes. Dress in layers so that you can adjust to changes in the temperature and your activity level. A hat, scarf, and gloves might be a good idea. You may wish to bring water, binoculars, hand lens, notebook, and camera.

Note: A daily entrance fee or annual pass is required.

Limit: 30 persons
