It's not all flat either, there are some parts that are going up and down in the trees, a few trees you have to climb under or over on the trail. Part of it is covered, but part of us is very open and near a construction area. However, the falls are beautiful. And since it is such a trek, it's not super crowded. If you don't mind the hike and want a nice little spot to cool off and jump off a rock, I would highly recommend this place.

Running, jogging tracks and walking trails. And a huge playground for the little ones. Plus a newly built recreation center that holds a 200 seat auditorium, a 2 story rock climbing wall, special events, camps, sporting events, instructional classes, and facility rentals. It also offers two full sized basketball courts, officials meeting room, cardio/fitness zone, multiple classrooms and a dance studio. I love going here as there are just so many things to do. Other offerings are Public rest rooms, gazebo with picnics tables and also pet friendly. And you just have to attend their annual Christmas drive through light show.

Dog friendly and great for hiking alone or in a group, I highly recommend visiting the park in the evening. Trail #1 goes under Highway 400, so does get a bit noisy. Trail #2 goes through the Hewlett Lodge Visitor Center and is a good spot to picnic and take breaks. Each trail is about 3 miles to & fro and take roughly an hour or so each to complete them. There are no restrooms in the Island Ford Unit entrance so plan accordingly if you enter from that entrance. Parking is $5/day or free with the Annual pass or America the beautiful pass. Amenities: Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking, pet waste stations & picnic tables

The park…read moreoffers a peaceful escape with beautiful river views and plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. Our hike was both fun and refreshing, and it gave us a glimpse of just how much this park has to offer. One of the highlights was discovering the variety of trails--each one winding through different landscapes and offering unique perspectives of the river and surrounding forest. That said, we've only scratched the surface. With so many trails still left to explore, it feels like we've only had a taste of the adventure waiting here. We also had the chance to tour the lodge, which was a fascinating stop. It shared the history of the site in an engaging way and offered interactive exhibits that were perfect for kids. It added an extra layer of fun and learning to our visit, making the experience even more memorable. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for hiking, family outings, and reconnecting with nature. We're already looking forward to coming back and experiencing more of the trails and activities we didn't get to this time.

I will say the group I went with got slightly lost a few times though they have experience hiking so not sure how clear the signs and directions are due to that. However the trail feels safe and accessible. The people there are very friendly with many greeting us along our way. The waterfall we got to was absolutely beautiful. It's kind of amazing that we even have a real waterfall so close to the city of Atlanta. Parking was kind of limited but we were able to make it work. So overall I have no complaints and enjoyed my time here.

Typically with parks like this you get caught in between kids throwing frisbees or people yelling or just being not being able to enjoy your time. Not with this place! It's always so peaceful and even if there are people barbecuing or throwing a party it never seems too hectic! There is ample space for kids to have their fun and for people to walk around and mind their own. I'd go here everyday to hang out if I could!

They usually hold a crochet get together once a month and found this small park. While I was exploring the place, I got to meet Trish who was there attending to the garden at the time. She had told us about the history of when the family was living on the property dated back in 1880s. Their daughter, Peggy Miles had wanted the property to be well maintained after her passing. She was a histologist but, was never married nor had any children while living alone. Thus, the Friends of Lost Corner was formed and raised about $900k in 2018. The property was then sold to the city after her passing and have been well maintained ever since to preserve the nature in the area. I particularly enjoyed walking on the small trail in the backyard that loops around for about 1 mile in total. Due to the overgrown trees in the area, the trails were well shaded. There's a couple of small bridges when you explore the trails branching off the little loop. I was told that the different flowers will bloom at different times around this time of year. I'm looking forward to visit during the blooming of Trillium flowers. They come in a variety of colors and looking forward to the delight of their bloom. This place is well preserved and very private. Almost like a hidden gem in the heart of Sandy Springs. I was there on a Saturday evening at around 4:30pm. It wasn't crowded as I hoped. Even though there was a baby shower event held at the house. There's a male and female bathrooms located on the right side of the house so, the public doesn't interfere with any events being held inside. I'd recommend exploring this mini park if you're in the area. Name of place is called Lost Corner Preserve.
