The sound of the water, rocky landscapes, and peaceful surroundings make it easy to forget you're only minutes from Atlanta. excellent destination for a day of hiking, picnicking, and making memories with friends. Con: Parking fees are $10 (gone are the $5 day) Also, the way you pay is...via link and it can be tricky & time consuming. You can go park anywhere in the park once you pay...you don't have to pay 2nd time.

We stayed in Atlanta for the weekend and we were craving a hiking trail on our last day. We spent…read moresome time trying to find the perfect spot that included water, medium hike, and close enough to the city to avoid adding another two hours to our trip back home to FL. This state park was a great find and only a 30 min drive from mid town. They had different trails for different levels of hiking. Our trail ran alongside the creek and we got to dip our legs in the water while others were swimming and tanning. If we weren't so tired we would have made a whole day of it!

Okay. So I was out driving for a dang on hour before I could locate this park. There are signs…read moredirecting you towards the park but damn-it there is no physical address listed. So I used my GPS to pin point the address from inside the park. First things first. There are NO PETS ALLOWED! Yeah you heard me. Fido can not get out of your vehicle at this location. Also, I should probably mention that if you are coming from Chapel Hill Road end of this street then you will be able to enter the park just fine. If you are coming from, say S. Fulton Parkway, then you will need to go down the road and turn around and come back up to the park. The same as exiting. You can NOT TURN LEFT as you leave this location. When you first enter the park you must travel down a long gravel road at 10 MPH. It may be a mile or two down this road and then you get to the park booth. Over towards the left if where most people are parked. Then to the right of that booth is a directory for persons with boats, persons looking for the Pavilion or those that are wanting to fish from the Fishing pier. I thought this park was absolutely gorgeous! It;s nice quiet and serene. But how in the heck are you suppose to find the park Douglas County? Anyway, I guess that's why it's so nice and quiet. Cause no one can find the damn place! :)

You can usually watch a few soccer games here if that is what you like. If you want the park more to yourself I would say get there early before all of the games start.

Like I said, Duncan Park is perfect for any reason. As today is my rest day from the gym, however, I still wanted to burn some calories, Duncan Park has the perfect trail for such a day. The trail is super simple and easy to walk. As it circles the pond, the views are gorgeous the entire time. There are some ups and downs so you get a little incline in, however it's nothing complex or overly steep. If you are like me and don't mind going off the pavement, you can add some time to your walk and enhance your experience. Duncan Park was an amazing experience as I put on my headphones and got lost in the ambiance of the fall season around me. If you're in the mood for a walk but don't want anything too complex, Duncan Park is the place for you. Or, if you're like me and it's supposed to be your rest day, sneak a walk in at Duncan Park.

I am well aware that some parks restrict the number of dogs one can bring, and I understand why that may be the case. On the flip side, I always scout a park, before I bring my dogs out of the car. I looked this park up in Yelp and thought it'd be nice. From what I saw, it was. However, unlike some parks where the parking lot is immediately adjacent to the park, this park has quite a bit of green space between the main lot and the fenced dog areas. Even the secondary or smaller parking lot is separated by 2 small foot bridges and a bit of green space. As beautiful as the area is, I am not comfortable traversing the large open areas with 3. It would be great for 1 or 2, though. I do encourage others to consider this park, though.

We normally visit the river but with the seasons changing and temperatures dropping we've been…read morechecking out different parks nearby and decided on this location after searching Yelp. I will be honest, this will not be a good dog park for everyone because... The Pro's: *Plenty of space for the dogs to run and get their zoomies out. *Trash cans, Benches for seating, and A doggy water fountain to drink from are available. *Very clean for the most part. You're not stepping over a bunch of poop piles pet parents didn't get up! The Con's: *There's no "Small dog/Large dog" separation. So if your tiny dogs can't hang with the big dogs, this won't be a great place to come! *There were a TON of dogs... when we visited there were at least 20-30 dogs easily. So if you're dog doesn't like being in a big "dog crowd" this won't be a great place for you in the peak times... you may have to beat the crowd by coming early or something but after noon 5ish was super crowded. *There are some imperfections in the landscaping. There are areas where there's a little rocky and just watching the dogs run I was really holding my breath that none of them pulled anything, slid, or stepped too hard on a rock of some sort! It could get ugly real quick! So if the owners out there please patch the area by the sitting stone wall up with grass. Other than those few things it was a great time. The entire park is beautifully kept and a great addition to Smyrna area! We will be back!

There are fairly large patches of dirt/mud where the seated areas (3 benches in the park) are. You can see areas where they have tried putting fake grass down to spark growth but it may take a while (I'm not an expert on this). I can see where this can be muddy if you go after it rained so beware of that. They do have a water fountain and it appears as if other owners have left water bowls there for regular visitors. Some of the owners know each other so that's always a plus which has a true dog lover 'community' feel to it. Deducted a star because the mosquitos were RAMPANT!! (Not sure if anything can be done but sheesh!) the other star was for the fake grass patches. Decent dog park with potential...

Lots to do here with separate party areas for big and small dogs, in case you're one of those who doesn't like to mix it up. You'll probably have plenty of company at this popular hangout. And don't stay away even if you leave your dogs at home, since there's a nice 4-5 miles of trails to bike, run, or walk. Turtle Back is a nice 4+ mile loop with plenty of hills and advanced jumps etc for those inclined. Add in Red Baron for an extra mile and more black diamond bike ramp fun.
