Lovely paved trails The BLK Hiking Club started their 2024 hiking season at this park. It was my first hike in GA in over a decade. The Hog Mountain entrance has plenty of parking (our group was over 120 people). The bathrooms are adjacent to the parking lot and were clean and stocked. The water was cold but the hand dryers have warm air so your hands will warm right up on cold days. The map by the parking lot and bathrooms shows the routes of various lengths. The trails are paved and easy to navigate with only slight elevations on the 2 mile trail. Our group of over 120 people had plenty of space and room on the trail (walking 2 by 2). Along the trail there are benches and picnic areas. Overall, this is a beautiful, serene hike that is great for groups. I highly recommend it. read more

Larger park that in a natural environment, offers playgrounds, paved trails, lakes and picnics areas. Ample parking. Very pretty and serene setting. read more

This is the time of year that I get out there and walk around the lake. The weather has cooled, its not as humid, and the trails are scarcely populated in the morning air. I am blessed to live a couple blocks away from the Hog Mountain entrance of the park. I went for a morning walk the other day and was blessed to see the mist forming over the lake, turtles lined up on a log, and the Joro spiders still in their intricate webs between the trees. I felt close to God. I wanted to share some of the photos I took as I marveled at the beautify before me. read more

"892 acres?!" Holy smokes, that would explain a lot LOL... My clients and I recently bit off more than we could chew at this park two Fridays ago. Obviously, we didn't get through all of it, but we saw more than we intended. I did not realize the actual size of this place and I guess I should've read Richard R.'s review more thoroughly or at least took a good look at the trail map before we got started, but like a big ol' dummy of course, I decided we should just jump in. I guess I thought there would be a simple loop trail we could get in and out of here like most Gwinnett Parks (and there are), but that can be easier said than done as you'll find there are a ton of entrances and exits here and you could get a little mixed up after awhile. Long story short, we entered from the disc golf side, which if you're coming in closer from Atlanta is the first suggestion for Little Mulberry Park that Google maps will pull up. It seems like a good "main entrance" with accessible entry, bathrooms, a picnic pavilion right off the parking lot with grills, and easy access to the playground where there is also one of those mini libraries where you can trade books at the mailbox. We started on down the sunny path which connected to what we now know is the 2.2 mile Miller Lake Trail. We took the fork down to the shaded portion through the trees around the lake. It was a busy park with lots of people walking even on a weekday. After we finally made it around, we enjoyed the view of the lake which was worth the trek. There are lots of benches, picnic tables, and observation decks to catch your breath at along the trail, including a fun swinging bench up over the trail on a small hill overlooking the lake. We were thankful for these stops as it was already 90-something degrees in the shade. Heading back is what we messed up. Somewhere along the long winding path of the 2.2 mile trail, we got off early. I'm now thinking it was somewhere near Pine Road side. There are bathrooms and a parking lot there also when you come up from the stairs. I thought it would connect to the other side of the parking lot like Alexander Park does in Lawrenceville, but sadly it does not. If you follow the sidewalk, eventually it will take you straight to Hog Mountain Road which is pretty scary to cross, since it's so busy. Not sure if there were any crosswalks, but we ended up hoofing it in the bike lane for awhile to stay on the correct side and walking directly in the sun to get back to the disc golf entrance closer past Patrick Road. This was very unpleasant, and I recommend turning around and going back through the trail itself if you find yourself getting out too early like we did. The bike path is pretty narrow and the grass area next to it is pretty uneven, so it's not the safest in general, but thank God we were all careful and made it. Lesson learned! We probably walked a good 3-4 miles instead of 2.2 in the heat, since we also had to trek back uphill to get around the main entrance where you drive in. So our first experience was not the most relaxing to say the least, but I still rate it five stars, since it was my fault for not looking at the trail map a little closer. I will say if you want to kill a day, this is a good place to come and enjoy. My favorite part was probably just relaxing at the pavilion for lunch and checking out the lake via the swing bench - a great place to meditate. If you don't like bigger parks, I would say don't come here, unless you want to just stay near the entrance. But it's a great place, just be aware and pay attention to that map especially if it's almost 100 degrees outside and you don't want to get lost. read more

Little Mulberry Park, Hog Mountain Rd - Great view of Miller Lake (sorry this new phone doesn't have the best camera), just go check it out for yourself! - Parks Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

I recently moved to Dacula and now this park is 5 min away from me and I absolutely love it! There's four entrances to Little Mulberry, but I only use the Fence Rd, and the Hog Mountain Rd entrances. Because I live so close to the Fence Rd entrance I didn't realize how big this park is. About 15 miles pf trails. Once I took Hog Mountain Rd is when I realize how pretty it is, and how much stuff there is to do around. There are playgrounds, grills, picnic tables, a fishing lake, lake & lakeviews, and Karina Miller Nature Preserve is also located in the middle of the park and it's so pretty! I love outdoors and having this park so close to me has changed my lifestyle. Definitely visit it if you're in the area! ESPAÑOL Recientemente me mudé a Dacula y ahora este parque está a 5 minutos de mí y me encanta. Hay cuatro entradas a Little Mulberry, pero yo solo uso las entradas Fence Rd y Hog Mountain Rd. Debido a que vivo tan cerca de la entrada de Fence Rd, no me di cuenta de lo grande que es este parque. Cerca de 15 millas de senderos. Una vez que tomé Hog Mountain Rd es cuando me doy cuenta de lo bonito que es y de la cantidad de cosas que hay que hacer. Hay áreas de juegos para niños, parrillas, mesas de pícnic, un lago para pescar, vistas al lago y al lago, y la reserva natural Karina Miller también se encuentra en el medio del parque y es muy bonita. Me encanta el aire libre y tener este parque tan cerca de mí ha cambiado mi estilo de vida. ¡Definitivamente visítalo si estás en la zona! read more

This is a beautiful park with so much to do! There's hiking trails, paved trails, playgrounds, picnicking spots, horse trails, and more! The history behind it makes it cool too; the park was built on land that Native Americans used to live on, and there are little stone altars up in the woods left behind from those days, called Indian Mounds, which date back to the 19th century. The only thing that makes me skeptical about coming to this park sometimes is how big it is and how secluded you feel in some spots in the woods of the paved trail around Miller Lake. As a woman, I very rarely walk or run this trail alone or without one of my dogs to accompany me, especially if it is in the evening when the sun is about to go down. It just makes me nervous, because I've heard stories of people finding bodies in these woods at this park, so one can never be too careful these days! All in all, this really is a great park. Just be careful out there and stay safe! Happy trails! read more

Lovely park. Great walking areas. Disc golf is well maintained. I've enjoyed my time here.

I truly feel blessed to live in Gwinnett County. We have some of the largest and most magnificent public parks around and @ 892 acres, Little Mulberry is practically the crown jewel. There are over 15 miles of trails with something for everyone. PAVED TRAILS * MILLER LAKE TRAIL is a 2.2 mile paved trail around beautiful Miller Lake. Easily the most scenic trail. It is also one of the more populated trails, but still enjoyable. You will see dog walkers, skaters, bikers, fisherman, runners, speed-walkers, families, couples, elderly and toddlers. Recently I discover there is a hidden dinosaur on one of the lake islands, so try to spot it. This trail is best accessed from the Hog Mountain parking area. * CARRIAGE TRAIL is a .66 mile connector trail, but don't let the short distance fool you. The park is divided into two side with two distinct parking areas. This trail connects the north end of the park to the southern end, which also contains the tallest elevation in Gwinnett. The elevation gain along this trail is about 316 feet in a short distance. Your legs will surely be burning, but it is all paved and wooded, so you will have great protection from the hot Georgia summer sun. After heavy rains, there is also a noticeable waterfall. * EAST & WEST MEADOW TRAILS are one mile each. West Meadow is the more populated of the two as it is closer to the parking area off Fence Road and hosts the picnic pavilion and restrooms for the south end of the park. Beautiful meadow views. Be sure to find the cross-country trail through the grasslands up to the stone observation deck. Here you enjoy 360-degree views of the county. * POND TRAIL is a short .6 mile journey around a tiny pond. I call it the TODDLER TRAIL. It is also home to the children's playground and picnic area. A perfect place to bring young children. We've also had three birthday parties for our boys here when they were younger. Big open fields are great for soccer, Frisbee throwing, kick ball, kite flying, or whatever games the little tikes can conjure up. * RAVINE TRAIL is my second favorite trail. The entire 2 mile trail is completely wooded, but has been fully paved in recent years. It is a peaceful trail with many elevation changes for a good calorie burn. Along the trail is a waterfall (when it has been raining), a curved foot bridge, a Beech tree forest, a creek, a challenging uphill climb and an ancient tree. I love that it feels 15 degrees cooler on this trail in the summer than the other open trails. Also, you will often see families of deer in the early mornings. UNPAVED TRAILS CROSS COUNTRY TRAIL is for runners. Not sure of its length, but it is a trail through the meadows easily noticeable as you will see the grass has been cut low and is approximately 10 feet wide. Feels good on your knees and feet to run this trail. EQUESTRIAN TRAIL is my absolute favorite trail. It is approximately 4.25 miles long through the deep woods of the park. Elevation changes are extreme in some areas, but it honestly feels like you are hiking in the Smoky Mountains, not a public park. I've walked this trail many times without ever encountering another human, and other times when I got to meet a few gorgeous horses and their riders. It is a wonderful place to be alone with your thoughts and provides me with a place to distress. There are also a few benches along the way overlooking the higher peaks. Access through the equestrian parking area off Mineral Springs Road. FINAL THOUGHTS Little Mulberry Park is simply a wonderful place to escape without being too far from home. You can experience everything from grasslands and meadows to dense forests. Creeks and wetlands to lakes and mountain peaks. Not only is there a variety of flora and fauna, but thoughtful touches like fishing piers, benches and a disc golf course. In the spring you will see geese and their young gathering as if they're having a family reunion. Occasionally as you walk the trail, a beautiful scent will capture your nostrils as plants release natural perfumes. Birds sing out as if they are saying hello and busy squirrels & chipmunks bounce along searching for food. Fall transforms the park into a dazzling canvas of color and a delight for the eyes. Yes, I love this place! 2018/31 read more

Great park to for walkers and runners around the 2.2 mile paved path. Park maintenance workers are always helpful. Seems some people don't pick up after their pets and some times bits of trash. Could a few more signs be placed as to ask park goers to pick up after themselves. Maybe "Pack it in Pack it out". Seems a few trash cans have disappeared as well. Dog poo is on the rise. Its up to us to pick it up. Please park goers PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS. PICKING UP DOG POO IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MAINTENANCE PERSONAL. It's the responsibility of all of who use the park.

I love walking this park! The wildlife is fun to see and the hills are a workout.

Beautiful park! Well maintained and landscaped! Nice play areas, walking trails, and clean ponds. There is a lot of things for everyone. Running, walking, bird watching, fishing, kite flying, frisbee, etc. You will not be disappointed visiting Mulberry Park. read more

Hands down one off the most amazing parks I have ever been too. Numerous paved trails, endless hiking trails. The Hog Mountain side has a large lake with a 2.2 paved path that has varying grades. The Fence Rd side has a few paved paths that are not as long as the Hog Mountain side. Fence Rd's loops are about a mile (?). There is also a play ground on the Fence Rd side. Dog friendly! Public bathrooms that are kept clean. The walking path and all hiking trails are kept clean and clear of debris. A truly inspirational place to be! Enjoy! read more

This is by far the best park I have every visited. Clean and beautiful. I took my 2 small dogs on the 2.20 mile trail and it was awesome! We dont have kids but the play ground looks great. Our new favorite place! read more

Great park for a walk or run. The 2.2 mile route around the lake is scenic and has just enough hills to keep it interesting. In December folks bring a ornament and decorate a tree. We have gone here 2-3 times a month for years. They just started having a Little Mulberry, Hog Mountain location on Yelp. read more

This is by far the most beautiful, clean, and family friendly park I have ever seen. I relax, play Frisbee, or jog at Little Mullberry weekly. I even took my engagement pictures here! read more
