Highly recommend and will be going back.Whether you need some solo time breathing in fresh air, or you’re trying to think of something fun to do with friends or family, Alpharetta, Georgia, has a ton of great outdoor attractions nearby. If you wanted to start at the Old Mill Park - the address is 95 Mill View Avenue. Across the bridge are ruins of an old mill and a renovated bldg. Finding the covered bridge at Old Mill Park was a pleasant surprise.
#Roswell mill waterfall hours full
We went in April after all the spring rains and the creek was full as well as a rushing waterfall. There are several trails to take in the area so pick whichever one you like. to get to the footbridge that starts the trailhead of Vickery Creek. The trail starts from the parking lot but you will have to cross Oxbo Rd. You will find plenty of parking at the parks and rec. where you'll also see a brown sign that says "Pedestrian Bridge and Trail Parking". There is a graveled parking area before Dobbs Dr. I'm offering my detailed instructions in case someone else finds it difficult to get to the trailhead. The history of the mill and the covered bridge are also worth coming.Īfter a futile attempt to find this trail in 2016, my sister and I went out again armed with more directions from GA park trail maps.
The hike is not strenuous and very short. Overall, a great place to see waterfall despite the crowdedness. I wasn't planning on going under the waterfall or swimming since I came there to just check out the waterfall and go hiking. I was able to get a good view of the waterfall but it was too many people there. I decided to go on the other side of the waterfall, just cause. Since that trail on the other side (right side of the waterfall) is up higher than the actual waterfall, we were able to look down and see many people playing in the waterfall. Ironically, the way the woman went also ended up where the waterfall is. Because she told me about the waterfall on the other side, I decided to go back down but didn't go to the bridge and saw another trail, which eventually took me to the other side of the waterfall. She told me that she was able to see the waterfall on the other side across the bridge and she wanted to see the waterfall on this side and decided to come. Of course, we both never have been there so we're clueless. There was another woman who looking at the map too. Yes, I was looking for "You are Here" but it was not there. I even went up top more and found another map and it was the same confusing map. I decided to take a right towards the bridge and crossed it to only find a really confusing map which did not show where the waterfalls was. It's right in the heart of Roswell too, which made it very interesting. However, with Old Mill Park, which I've also found being called Vickery Falls is in Roswell so it won't take me an hour to get there. Most waterfall trips that I planned in the past, I would need a whole day to explore. Why? My kids got older and husband works weekends so the thought just never crossed my mind again. It's been a while before I've gone hiking to one. Come here, in Roswell! Yes, that's right, a waterfall in Roswell! I have a love for waterfalls. If you do not want to travel to North Georgia to see a waterfall, look no further.
