Island Ford Park

Tuesday, September 15, 2015

I found myself with a day off on this particular Tuesday and I was jonesing for a little bit of nature and wildlife since my trip. I hadn’t had the opportunity to do much outdoors for myself since returning to Atlanta so I headed over to Island Ford Park in Sandy Springs with a buddy of mine. Both of us being photographers we found ourselves on the banks of the Chattahoochee River watching the ducks and geese as they came and went doing duck and geese things.

We hiked along the banks trail as we made our way up and down the river photographing as went. I had not been to Island Ford except to pick up my National Parks pass so it was definitely refreshing to find this gem of a recreation area kind of hidden in Sandy Springs. The park is part of the larger Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. After a few hours we headed towards our cars and came across a doe and her fawn. Not a bad way to end an outdoor adventure in the city.
