Naturalist Programs and the Trails of Mason Mill Park

Mason Mill Park serves as a primary trailhead for a network of some of the nicest hiking and biking trails in the county. The South Peachtree Creek PATH trail connects Mason Mill Park with Medlock Park, the Leafmore neighborhood, and Emory University. A network of soft surface trails also provides miles of hiking opportunities within Mason Mill, Ira B. Melton, and Medlock Parks.
