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.

Vickery Creek Trail

Reviewed By BelindaJ770 - Cumming, United States

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.

Leita Thompson Memorial Park

Reviewed By HelpfulAngel - Atlanta, United States

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.
