Vickery creek at Roswell
Vickery creek at Roswell
Vickery Creek falls at the site of the old Roswell mill. Several walking trails in the area and remnants of the old mill make this a great area to explore.
We saw three cotton mouth snakes in the creek below this bridge right after I took this picture. Not a place to go swimming
A beautiful feature about the Atlanta Metro area is that it is not devoid of all green space. The Southern cities in the United States have embraced nature as they develop. Vickery Creek Falls is one such park that the city seems to melt away and you are transported right into nature. The trails are fairly easy to navigate and the inclines are gentle making for a stress free, picturesque stroll along side the banks of Big Creek. For a little more challenge complete the 4.7 loop that will take you past the spillway waterfall, historic mill and across a covered bridge. All this beauty is located right in the heart of Roswell just outside of Atlanta.

This was taken at an outside garden at the Crowne Ravinia plaza. I was at a conference there the past weekend. It's a beautiful place to stay, especially if your at a conference. The staff is very hospitable and catering to group needs. The hotel had an indoor and outdoor garden which is quite beautiful.
