Nice little preserve with a 3 mile easy , paved/ wooden planked trail . The preserve situated amidst residential buildings and need to cross driveways. Better to take binoculars or camera as there are many birds . Small kitchen garden is nice

Really unique and quiet spot in the heart of Atlanta. My dogs enjoyed the water and edge that almost felt like a beach! Lots of artwork and picnic tables, a perfect little getaway that’s not far from downtown. I went around 7am on a Saturday and was the only person.

It is an excellent place to visit within the city limits. There are plenty of park benches for you to sit alongside the trails. The best time to visit this place is in Late Spring and early summer. There is not much to see during the wintertime except for deer. The sounds of the water flowing make up the difference. The parking lot wasn’t that full. I will return in the Spring to see this place come to life.
