I visited Autrey Mill for the first time and will definitely return! The park is now open during the Covid crisis just not the visitor center, but there are maps and helpful info displayed as well as a cell phone tour available. It’s great for families or solo visitors such as myself. There is a butterfly garden, animals for viewing, and multiple trail options. I chose the Preserve Perimeter trail which follows a creek for much of the path. Really nice views and woodsy while the path is well maintained with signage. What a nice nature getaway right in town!!

Jones Bridge Trail

Reviewed By BelindaJ770 - Cumming, United States

Driving in is like driving into another world. The trees are tall and thick and the road curves so that you almost feel like you are driving into the mountainside. I know that this is hard to believe if you live in Alpharetta, but trust me, you will understand when you drive in. Parking is $5. After you park, there will be a sign, which shows the trail with number markers. Since it was our first time there, we took a picture of the sign and agreed to stop at various number markers. What you need to know is that there are no number markers anywhere. We weren’t sure if the number markers were removed to be replaced, if they had all been stolen, or if they had all fallen off somewhere. To be safe, we hiked on the trail along the river, which was fine because the river was relatively calm and we could see the backs of some of (beautiful) houses across the river. The trail is relatively flat with an occasional tree root that goes across the trail. If you encounter other people on the trail going the opposite way as you, everyone is very courteous and will stand aside so that you can walk by or vice versa. We plan to go back as soon as we can find someone that can guide us along the trail.

Fun place to visit for kids. Stay and Play as long as you want for $12 per kid (adults free). Small enough you can enjoy the couches and watch your child play but still has many different play centers. Ball bin, jumpy pad, 4 story tall climbing structure w Mini tramp,slides and much more. Little imaginary play center w cottage, train table, grocery store, vet and diner. Also role play with chef, firemen and police officer outfits. Plus you can feel good about visiting knowing that this business is owned and operated by a local family with three kids! BRING SOCKS to avoid a sock fee....
