What to know

From the visitor center, the trail meanders along steep, hogback ridges and through a wooded stream valley to Lake Austell, then continues to the picnic area. Allow an hour or more for a leisurely hike through a variety of terrain. The trail is moderately steep in places and allows a good view of the Crowley's Ridge landscape and rich forest diversity of the park.
