TRAIL INFO. – Our hike today began at the Warwoman Dell picnic area parking lot East of Clayton, GA on Warwoman Road. We hiked the Bartram Trail northward past Becky Branch Falls and Martin Creek Falls for about an 8 mile round-trip. Another beautiful hiking day! Mostly sunny 45-68 degrees F. This section of the Bartram Trail features great woodland hiking with several creeks and a couple of very nice waterfalls. Flora – Wildflowers are about gone for the season but we did see Heart leafed asters, Phlox, and Purple Violets in bloom. Fauna – American Crow, Junco, Winter Wren, Pileated Woodpecker, and Black Vulture. |
