Big Haynes Creek Nature Ctr, Moderate 5 Miles, Ga Int'l Horse Park, Conyers

A unique wildlife preserve that includes wetlands, forests, and open meadows. Lots new since my last visit including a small pollinator garden; outdoor learning ctr; art exhibit “Herald of Herons” featuring 10 great blue heron statues on the purple trail, that includes educational signage; kayak launch; decorative bird and butterfly boxes...

Trails are natural dirt with lots of roots, rocks, and a few climbs, rated moderate on AllTrails. I plan to rack up at least 5 miles combining purple, blue, orange trails. Pace will be set to the slowest, aim to maintain 2-2.5 mph, not a sprint, not a stroll, break as needed, bring water/snack/insect repellent, trekking poles welcome.

Porta potty only, at trail head, but if we decide to lengthen the hike before turning back, to include extended blue trail that meanders through the golf course, there is a restroom on the course.

End time is a guesstimate so allow for some flexibility.

Free parking, gravel lot.

Meet at the trailhead (see photo).
