This trail is an enjoyable hike that goes' to the ruins of a stacked-stone Civil War-era paper mill on the banks of a rocky creek, and then loop to a pond nat the Chattahoochee River park in Atlanta. The old mill was built in 1855 and was destroyed by Union troops during the Civil War, targeted for its role in paper production used for Confederate currency. The remnants of the foundation and walls stand, cathedral-like, beside Sope Creek, and a small spillway waterfall runs beside the ruins. As you follow the paths around the ruins, the hike reaches the creek’s banks and begins following the creek’s downstream flow. The creek provided a beautiful backdrop to the forested canopy and makes for a peaceful hike. Come and enjoy the views!
