See one of Atlanta’s less known parks in the aptly named Boulder Park neighborhood. This park hosts a beautiful section of Utoy Creek after the North and South Forks have combined to create a large creek, nearly a small river, that runs on to join the Chattahoochee River just a few miles to the west. As the creek widens, we find sand bars and boulders, and Basket Oak, rare in our area, is also found in the floodplain. A wide array of wildlife are at home here—we’ll look for tracks.

We’ll walk approximately 2 miles on natural trails on on flat terrain, and we’ll have time to stop to make photographs in several locations.
