Come join in on a Monday morning hike at Jones Bridge! The Jones Bridge Trail is part of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area system of trails and is classified as a regular TD hike, mostly level with 6 (or so) uphill sections and approximately 380 ft. of elevation gain. It has frequent trail markers and a few sections are quite "rooty." The Jones Bridge Trail hike shown on the AllTrails app includes a shortcut - we will hike the full perimeter, which is closer to almost 5.5 miles. I've listed this hike as taking 4 hours, although, depending on our pace, we may be finished sooner. See the trail map here: [Jones-Bridge.pdf (crnra.vip)](https://www.crnra.vip/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jones-Bridge.pdf)

* By the end of summer, parts of the trail are quite narrow due to tall grass, so PLEASE BE WARY OF TICKS. Remember to bring your insect spray!
* Please wear non-cotton layers and sturdy hiking shoes. Be aware of the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
* Poles are not required, but may help if you haven't hiked in some time (or if your hands tend to swell as mine do).
* Also, bring at least a liter of water and some snacks. A rain poncho is always good to have on hand, too.
* We will meet in the parking lot at the very end of the access road into the park, near the bathrooms.
* **Dogs are welcome on this hike!** However, they must be, 1) well-mannered with humans and other dogs, 2) on a 6-ft. non-retractable leash at all times, and 3) you must be prepared to clean up after your pooch. LNT applies to our fur babies, too!

**MORE DETAILS:**

* There is a **$5.00 entrance fee** which can be paid online or via credit card at the kiosk. Information re fees is at the link below: [https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm](https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm)
* The bathrooms are open but not especially clean/well maintained. **Just saying!**
