About this Event

Description: Briarlake Forest Park is one of DeKalb County's most beautiful greenspaces. Come walk the trails with Ranger Jonah and learn about the flora and fauna of this fantastic park.

What to expect: We will walk the mulched and dirt trails of Briarlake Forest Park, learning about the plants, trees, and animals that thrive here. This program will last 2 hours.

Program leader: Your guide will be Ranger Jonah McDonald, the DeKalb County Park Naturalist stationed at Mason Mill Park.

Where to meet: Find Ranger Jonah at the Briarlake Forest Park pavilion (a converted historic house) near the gravel parking lot off Briarlake Road (3330 Briarlake Rd, Atlanta, GA 30345).

What to bring: Wear appropriate footwear, dress for the weather, and bring a refillable water bottle and hiking sticks if you need them.

Recommended ages: This program content is designed for adults and older children, but all ages are welcome.

Dogs: Leashed dogs are welcome.

Weather contingency: This program will be held, rain or shine, unless conditions are dangerous.

Walking distance: 1.5 miles

Exposure: This walk is mostly under tree canopy, but a few sections are exposed to sun. We will cross two roads on our walk.

Trail surface & accessibility: This program follows a combination of wide mulched trails and single-track dirt trails and is not accessible for chair users or strollers. The dirt trails are less than 3 feet wide and have roots and rocks. Consider bringing hiking poles if your balance requires them. Questions if this program will work for your mobility?
