JOIN US FOR A 2026 HEALING ADVENTURE!
Join local FD community member, Thomas aka “Magellan” for a beautiful fall 2mile hike to DeSoto Falls just north of Atlanta near Dahlonega, Georgia. Carpool options are available and encouraged!
Saturday October 14th at 10am.
The exact address for the parking lot is 18365 US-129, Cleveland, GA 30528. It’s called DeSoto Falls Recreation Area and pops right up on Google Maps. As with most other federal national forest sites, it’s $5 to park or if people have the America the Beautiful national park pass that will also suffice.
Whether it’s your first time joining or you’ve been to a bunch of FD meetups – it’ll be a fun day hanging out with local FD community members. All abilities welcome.
Feel free to invite along friends/family as anyone is welcome to attend Community Adventures!
To RSVP please complete this brief form!
All attendees should view the Community Adventure disclaimer.
