A couple short boardwalks and a small sandy bank overlook the river near the Devils Racecourse Shoals. Continuing down the moderately steep path, the trail forms a couple small loops along the river. At the next junction, heading left will take you to the smaller parking lot on Akers Ridge Drive. Heading downhill, a side trail on the left will lead to the townhomes as well. The rest of the park has trail maps, so navigating shouldn’t be too difficult. Head downhill to another series of junctions. If you stay straight, the trail will lead to a townhome neighborhood. Once the trail levels off, it will slowly descend before coming to another junction. The trails either stay around 800 feet in elevation along the river or around 1000 feet in elevation on the hilltop, so navigating this park requires several 200 foot climbs and descents.Ĭontinue uphill at the next junction turning left here will lead you back to the paved path. Taking a left at the junction will take you up a steep incline. As a rule of thumb, if the trail becomes overly difficult, hard to follow, or overgrown then you’ve taken a wrong turn. This is one of many unofficial trails in the park. If you take a right along the river, the trail eventually dead ends unless you ascend a steep, difficult unofficial side trail up the hill. Along here will be the first junction, which at the time of writing this, does not have a trail map for guidance. Taking the first of the two entrances with the sign, the trail continues to follow along the river for the next. Starting from the northern endpoint at the Kennesaw Battlefields National Park, the trail heads south in Marietta along a combination of off-road trails. While on this paved path, you will cross under I-75, then over Rottenwood Creek before arriving at the start of the West Palisades unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Right now, the trail primarily stretches between Marietta and Smyrna and connects trail users to the Bob Callan-Rottenwood Creek Trail and Akers Mill Trail in near the southern trail endpoint. Starting from the larger parking lot at Paces Mill, begin on the Rottenwood Creek Multi-Use trail for the first half mile. The park is complete with great river views, boat ramp, large picnic area, and access to a 4 mile paved multi-use trail, making it perfect for a variety of activities. One of the more challenging of the Chattahoochee River parks, the West Palisades trail system provides relaxing river-side trails along with several moderately steep inclines.
