There are both paved and natural trails, so you can choose your adventure depending on how easy or challenging you want the hike to be. Along the way, you'll come across really interesting Civil War landmarks and historic markers that make the hike feel like stepping back in time. It's also very family-friendly and dog-friendly! I was able to hike it with my 4-year-old daughter walking beside me and my 1.5-year-old on my back, and we all had a blast. The views at the top are so worth it, and the whole mountain is filled with a sense of history and beauty. If you're looking for a hike that blends nature, family fun, and historic charm, Kennesaw Mountain is definitely worth the visit.

This trail is going on my bookmarks…read more I had a great time hiking the 2 trails at Island Ford Park today. It was clean, well-maintained and peaceful with a lovely creek and lots of shade. 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 thought it was clean, shady and was in a decent location near the local neighborhoods. My wife and I hung out here for a bit while we were visiting her family. It's quiet and worth a stop, especially if you have small children or just want to hang out with a coffee and talk.

I know people are in and out but if you go weekly or biweekly and see some of the same things going untouched, it makes you wonder if they are bothering to do deep cleans. The soccer field seems to always have little pieces of trash that I'm keeping my two year old from picking up or quickly grabbing like bottle caps and plastic. And then I'll see similar week to week or things that look like electrical wires. The main gripe is the ladies room. The changing table has been dirty and this is over some months. I finally took a photo. Luckily my daughter is almost fully potty trained and I bring something to cover it but sheesh... it would be nice if it looked like someone tried to clean it.
