1. Willeo Park

Reviewed By ProvenExponent - Marietta, United States
We’ve walked this “boardwalk” which goes over a marsh like area and over to Willeo. The boardwalk becomes a wide concrete path interspersed with additional boardwalk sections. Very nice views of the wildlife that live in the area. It’s popular but due to its width it’s not congested. We’ve seen several types of duck and egrets. About 1.5 miles to the end. Of course another 1.5 miles back to the start. Very limited parking close by but within a half mile from the Azalea Drive entrance additional parking is available.

There's a stretch of the Chattachoochee between Buford dam and the Morgan Falls dam that is somewhat navigable despite the sandbars. Despite the reputation and mud, you find very little trash in the river. It can be very pleasant to be out on the water when the weather is nice.

We had trouble finding the trail itself even when we used a GPS. We were able to find it as well as parking at 95 Mill Street, Roswell, GA 30075. This is a fun trail- if you know where you are going and depending on how experienced you are in hiking. Our advice is to wear hiking boots. If you do not have hiking boots, then sneakers. There are parts of the trail that are unpaved, but still walkable and there are other parts that are unpaved and uneven and you can easily get hurt. We saw a couple goofing off and not paying attention to the trail and the female slipped and landed on her back. Our second piece of advice is to take a picture of the trail map. With the fallen leaves, it is easy to see what you think is a path and that is not really a path. Also, take a picture of the map because there are very few markers on the trail. At times, we would look for a marker, hike and then discover that we had already passed by the marker. If you appreciate nature and hiking on uneven terrain, you will enjoy this hike. The air is so clean and fresh that you realize just how unclean the air that you normally breathe in is. Parking is free, but difficult to find if you go after mid-morning. Restrooms are surprisingly clean despite the number of visitors.

A beautiful natural park right in the heart of Roswell. There are several different levels of trails to choose from: Red 2.5 miles, Blue 2.0 miles, Yellow 1.1 miles. The trails are well maintained. Lots of trees here. Small stream running through the park, and lake on the Red and Blue trails. There are lots of benches and swing seats right by the water so you can repose and have a picnic. Neat pavilion at the starting point of the trails. There are several maps posted as you walk the trails, so you know where you are. Also markers indicating how far you are on the trail. There is also a big open field where you can lie down and read a book, have a picnic, play frisbee or fly a kite. We love this park for a hiking.

Gate City's two-story space is anchored in the heart of Historic Roswell. At the corner of Canton and Magnolia Streets, what used to be two Roswell mechanic shops is now a 30bbl brewhouse and 3,000 sqft taproom serving up to 20 house-brewed beers on draft. Stop in each weekend for live music, taproom exclusive beers, 6-pack tastings to-go, community-based events and an overall good time—where the history of our growing city meets the future of craft beer culture.

COOL UPDATE: I live near Gate City and there was a City of Roswell posting for changing their city status. They are looking to expand their facility into a connecting space that used to be a restaurant. They are bringing a distillery to their facility! Not sure when that will open but be sure to keep a lookout. :) This is a truly unique place to experience historic Roswell. It's it's right off of Canton Street and Magnolia. It's a nice large building with adequate parking although the same parking area is used for visitors of Canton Street. The beer is super yummy and the laid-back Vibe of visiting the brewery is a fun experience. They have live music on the weekends during the warmer months and has a very common hangout kind of vibe. What is also cool is during the summer months around the back side of the facility they have garage doors that will raise up so that people have benches and things to experience the brewery on both sides. What I'm really looking forward to is there potential expansion. There is a restaurant that recently closed on Canton Street where they are attempting to acquire that building to expand into a Distillery as well. They would be the very first Brewery / distillery in Roswell. I'm super excited to see this expansion to further include other Brewery facilities in Roswell. Be sure to add this to your list if you enjoy beer tastings, laid-back get together with friends, and finding a nice place for a beer while waiting for dinner.

Stopped here on my birthday with some friends. Tried some of the local Variant brews. They are very good and fresh. Our server was friendly and very helpful with picking out the right beer to try. This is a brewery that I look forward to coming back to, if for nothing else, they are friendly and the beer is good. Cahmere was by far the best one we had.
