Once you have paid your entrance fee, navigate your way to the trail head coordinates. There is parking at the visitor center and a couple of other places along the trail. There are restrooms and vending machines near the visitor center trailhead.

You can start your expedition at multiple places along the blue blaze trail that leads from the Visitor Center to the Observation Tower along the Chattahoochee River, but there are coordinates below for the River Trail trailhead.

You are looking for a micro container and log that is hidden in a medium size camo piece that is hidden within 100 feet of the trail. Please make sure the cache is well covered when you replace it so that it will be safe. Please practice TRADE UP OR TRADE EVEN so that there will be swag enough for the State Park visitors. Please take a moment to say hello to one of the rangers while you are in the park and let them know we appreciate being able to geocache in this great park!

This is still a fairly new state park, so the road to the park entrance may not be updated in your GPSr map set. You will find additional waypoints below to find the entrance to Chattahoochee Bend State Park.

This trail was built by volunteers. Along with many other features to be completed in this new park trails are constantly being created and maintained. If you would like to help with the trails become Friends of Chattahoochee Bend State Park.

Your normal precautions for hiking in the woods apply. You'll need bug spray, boots, and water to drink along your journey. Please remember to practice "Leave no Trace."
-- Be aware of the snakes, ticks, and mosquitos that frequent this area and plan accordingly.
