Vickery Creek Trail: hiking Roswell Mill near the Chattahoochee River
View our complete Vickery Creek Trail review for directions, maps and detailed info:
Hike the Vickery Creek Trail in Roswell near the banks of the Chattahoochee River. An equally great hike or trail run, this rolling trail network explores historic mill remains at Roswell Mill, crosses a wooden covered bridge spanning Vickery Creek, and catches gorgeous views of the historic spillway waterfall that once powered the Civil War-era mill. The trail meanders through a young hardwood forest, weaving and winding through rolling terrain, making it a great, family-friendly hike, and one of metro Atlanta’s best beginner-friendly trail runs.

VICKERY CREEK - Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area - Best Places To Hike In Georgia
Vickery Creek is one of the best places to hike in Georgia just outside of Atlanta. This trail system is moderate and provides an extensive number of option of trails to hike to extend or reduce your time on the trail. We planned to only do 4.7 miles but found that we were closer to 6 when we finally returned to the trailhead.
This trail is dog-friendly but requires $5 to park or have the America The Beautiful Annual Pass as this trail system is within the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
As you make your way to Roswell Mill, you will find a few Dam Waterfalls along the trail. Keep in mind, this place can be packed on the weekends and does have a lot of road noise.

Roswell Historic Houses, Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia, United States, North America
Roswell is a city in north Fulton County, Georgia, United States. At the 2010 census, it had a population of 88,346, and in 2014 the estimated population was 94,089, making it Georgia's seventh largest city. A suburb of Atlanta, the city is well known for its prominent Historic district. In 1830, while on a trip to northern Georgia, Roswell King passed through the area of what is now Roswell and observed the great potential for building a cotton mill along Vickery Creek. Since the land nearby was also good for plantations, his idea was to put cotton processing near cotton production. Toward the middle of the 1830s, King returned to build a mill that would soon become the largest in north Georgia Roswell Mill. He brought with him 36 African slaves from his own coastal plantation, plus another 42 skilled carpenter slaves bought in Savannah to build the mills. The slaves built the mills, infrastructure, houses, mill worker apartments, and supporting buildings for the new town. The Africans brought their unique Geechee culture, language, and religious traditions from the coast to north Georgia. King invited investors from the coast to join him at the new location. He was also joined by Barrington King, one of his sons, who succeeded his father in the manufacturing company. Archibald Smith was one of the planters who migrated there to establish a new plantation, also bringing enslaved African Americans from the coastal areas. Barrington Hall (the home of Barrington King), Smith Plantation (the home of Archibald Smith) and Bulloch Hall (the childhood home of President Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Mittie Bulloch) have been preserved and restored. They are now open to the public. According to the 1850 Slave Schedules, these three founding families, together with the next three largest planters, held 192 slaves, 51% of the total 378 slaves held in Roswell District. Archibald Smith had a 300-acre (1.2 km2) cotton plantation. According to the 1850 Census, Barrington King held 70 slaves. Half of these slaves were under the age of 10. These slaves worked in Barrington's household. Barrington King leased or rented some of his adult male slaves to the Roswell Manufacturing Company, but they did not work around the mill machinery. The Roswell area was part of Cobb County when first settled, and the county seat of Marietta was a four-hour (one-way) horseback ride to the west. Since Roswell residents desired a local government, they submitted a city charter for incorporation to the Georgia General Assembly. The charter was approved on February 16, 1854. By the time of the Civil War, the cotton mills employed more than 400 people, mostly women. Given settlement patterns in the Piedmont region, they were likely of Scots-Irish descent. As the mill increased in production, so did the number of people living in the area. During the Civil War, the city was captured by Union forces under the leadership of General Kenner Garrard. Under orders of General Sherman, Garrard shipped the mill workers north to prevent them from returning to work if the mills were rebuilt. This was a common tactic of Sherman to economically disrupt the South. The mill was burned, but the houses were left standing. The ruins of the mill and the 30-foot (9.1 m) dam that was built for power still remain. Most of the town's property was confiscated by Union forces. The leading families had left the town to go to safer places well before the Federal invasion, and arranged for their slaves to be taken away from advancing Federal troops, as was often the practice. Some slaves may have escaped to Union lines. After the war, Barrington King rebuilt the mills and resumed production. While many freedmen stayed in the area to work as paid labor on plantations or in town, others migrated to Fulton County and Atlanta for new opportunities. The South suffered an agricultural depression resulting from the effects of the war and labor changes. According to the census, the population of Cobb County decreased slightly from 14,242 in 1860, to 13,814 in 1870. The proportion of African-Americans decreased more, from 27% to 23%. During those years, nearby Fulton County more than doubled in population, from 14,427 to 33,336. The effects of dramatic African-American migration can be seen by the increase in Fulton County from 20.5% slave in 1860 to 45.7% colored (Black) in 1870. At the end of 1931, the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression. The difficult economic conditions drove Milton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the north (note: much of what is now Roswell was part of Milton County already), to merge in its entirety with Fulton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the south. To facilitate the merger, Roswell was ceded from Cobb County to become part of Fulton County.
Vickery Creek Hiking Trail + Old Mill + Ruins + Dam Roswell Georgia
A covered bridge. Civil war mill ruins. A towering waterfall that pours from a historic spillway dam. There’s just a lot to love about the Vickery Creek Trail at Roswell Mill: it’s scenic, shady, and makes a great in-town hike or moderate trail run.
This five-mile adventure explores the historic Roswell Mill and the surrounding rolling forest in Roswell, Georgia. It’s one of the best hikes in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area parks near Atlanta, though its trails don’t follow the actual banks of the Chattahoochee River. Instead, this hike explores the historic remains of Roswell Mill and visits the mill’s spillway dam waterfall on a Chattahoochee River tributary. The 5+ mile trail network hikes through beautiful, rolling forest and catches views of the rushing dam waterfall from a steep rock bluff.

UNDEREXPOSED EP1 - Roswell, Georgia
Underexposed is a monthly series dedicated to showcasing trails around North America that fly under the proverbial radar for most riders. PEARL iZUMi athlete Brice Shirbach has seen firsthand what sweat equity can mean among mountain bikers and its impact on the places we call home, and with this series will look to help open eyes and shift our attention to some of the brilliant riding that exists in places both unexpected and unheard of.
–Episode 1–
Roswell, GA is located in northern Fulton County, roughly 20 miles or a 25 minute drive north of the southern metropolis of Atlanta. The 8th largest city in the state is flanked to the south by the venerable Chattahoochee River, and into that flows Big Creek, which works its way through Fulton County for 27 miles before it joins up with its big brother en route to the Gulf of Mexico.
Big Creek is also the name of Roswell’s trail network, which is home to 7 miles of XC and “freeride” trails, in addition to two pumptracks and a dirt jump section. The mileage isn’t going to impress many people, but it’s the quality of the decidedly limited quantity of trails that I want to bring attention to, particularly the “freeride” section. I use the quotations there as I’m never entirely sure what “freeride” actually means, as I tend to see it all as just riding trail, but I suppose in this case it’s meant to imply that the trails were built specifically for those looking to snag some air miles and high speeds. These trails are all directional, with a dedicated climbing trail that provides access. There are 8 downhill trails in addition to the climbing trail and two dirt jump lines, with a rating system that ranges from single black to triple black diamond. All of Big Creek was built and is maintained by the Roswell Alpharetta Mountain Bike Organization, otherwise known as RAMBO, a chapter of SORBA and “dedicated to fostering relationships with community leaders & land managers, promotes volunteerism, and outdoor recreation that is consistent with environmental protection, thereby strengthening the community and quality of life”.
The thing I find most striking about the trails here at Big Creek is the seemingly artful optimization of what might otherwise be considered limited topographic opportunities. There’s not much in terms of elevation available, much less open space, but when you consider the amount of urban sprawl that surrounds Atlanta, you have to admire what RAMBO has accomplished with these trails. If you give mountain bikers a molehill, we’ll find a way to make a mountain out of it, and I can’t think of a more appropriate way to kick this series off than with a trip to Big Creek in Roswell, Georgia.
