Confirmed from Jones Bridge's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreational area featuring a riverside walking trail and an observation deck.
What runners say about Jones Bridge
“The trail is well kept and pretty well marked, some tree markers would be nice at some of the interactions with multiple routes though.”
“Beautiful put in or take out point for Chattahoochee river runs.”
Beautiful put in or take out point for Chattahoochee river runs. The rapids by the observation deck are a great time!
This Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area park along the river is much more than what first meets the eye. From the main parking lot one can travel north (left) for a bit along the river trail until the trail ends behind the unsightly green chain link fence of Country Club of the South.
Went on the 6 mile loop hike and it was beautiful. Great for dogs and people! A bit of elevation change for those who aren’t used to hiking uphill, bring lots of water, once you get out there, it’s a long way back! Parking was limited, be early.
This trail is well maintained. Most areas are shaded, and one can meander for hours without worry about too much sun.
