About this Event

Did you know there are Champion Trees at Mason Mill Park? These special trees are the largest of their species within the I-285 perimeter. On this hike, we'll visit the City Champion red maple, river birch, box elder, northern red oak, and eastern red cedar. Please, we'll stop at many other remarkable trees with fantastic features and interesting stories. Come join Ranger Jonah on this unique tree adventure.

This hike will be primarily on dirt trails with roots and rocks to navigate, so pay attention to your mobility needs and bring hiking sticks if you need them. The total walk is about 3 miles and the last leg of the adventure will include balancing on stones to cross two creeks.

Wear appropriate footwear, dress for the weather, and bring a refillable water bottle and snack. Meet at the South Peachtree Creek trailhead near the Mason Mill Tennis Center (McConnell Dr & Mason Mill Rd).
