Healing Hike - Amerson River Park

All ability levels are welcome. This is a healing hike so the pace will be slower and we will stop here and there. Macon Mental Health Matters will have counseling professionals on hand.

We will meet at the playground. Parking is free.

We will be doing approximately 2 miles. The trail is easy and if needed, this trail can be done with a cane or trekking poles.

What to bring:

Water - always bring more than you think you'll need

Closed-toe shoes - tennis shoes work just fine

Moisture wicking clothing, layers if it is cooler - workout clothing works well

Tick preventative - I always have spray to share

Sunscreen if needed

Journal, if you like

Pack to carry it all - this doesn't have to be anything fancy, it just gets annoying to carry a water bottle through the whole hike. Plus, how else will you carry your snacks?

There are restrooms located beside the playground. I don't suggest finding a tree during the hike as the trails are heavily used and there is little privacy.

This link will take you to a liability waiver - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c28dKFe1wYnQWW9p9ZnOMqANLA13OFs-kPaV3GmrNCg/edit?usp=sharing By signing up, you agree to the waiver.

Since this is a healing hike, we sometimes discuss heavy topics. If you would like to make us aware of any triggers or traumas, please do so at the beginning of the hike.

Afterwards, I typically find a local place to grab some lunch or a coffee. There are several options near Amerson. Hikers are always welcome to join me.
