Wow is all I can say! If you haven’t seen this 713 acre GIGANTIC gem-of-a-park in Gwinnett County then you are in for a treat. This trail is a VERY WIDE, relatively easy 3.6 mile, paved loop going around beautiful Lake Ozora. We will venture a little off trail to also see a beautiful set of hidden shoals. Over three-quarters of the trail is nestled under the huge canopy of the park which creates a cool-shaded experience. So, join us as we encounter the beautiful lake in the cool of the morning with wonderful fellowship in the presence of God! This will be an easy hike with a difficulty level of D - 2 with a distance of 3.6 miles. For your sake and the sake of the group, please do not assume beyond your ability.
