Willeo Park — Attraction in Roswell

This is a beautiful park/trail concept that runs along the Chattahoochee River. I have been wanting to go here for a while after recently driving by here a couple of times in the last few weeks. It just looked so cool when driving by, so came here with a friend who's been to this trail before.

Once you get further into the wooded area, there is plenty of shade to walk. Will definitely...

The new boardwalk allows you to go get a closer view to the wildlife and ecosystem of the Chattahoochee. Great place to go for a stroll and enjoy nature. Recommended for the bird watchers among us. A decent section of the boardwalk is by the road, but the part that is away from the road is tranquil and relaxing. More parking near the boardwalk would be nice as only a small parking lot is available, but you can park on the side of Willeo Rd as long as you are completely off the shoulder. Otherwise, you will...
