Strathmore Nature Trail - Just don't even

Address: 206-184 Strathmore Dr, Sharpsburg, GA 30277

I'm putting this on my blog because it shows up on a google search. Don't waste time trying to find it. It is broken, unkept and dangerous. It's also really hard to find. It starts in a residential neighborhood right next to a driveway. If you follow it a ways you will come to a (I'm guessing) 12-15 foot cliff. If you look down over the cliff you will see about 1 foot of very icky black mud and then a pristine 3 plank bridge going over the stream. I know!! What the heck??!!?? So then if you look over at the other side of the stream you'll see a steep muddy embankment and if you consider maybe risking going thru this you will see the path on the other side has a big tree laying across it. You could probably go under the tree if you are this determined and adventurous (and willing to get really covered in mud plus risking a sprained ankle or worse) but I didn't want to get my shoes gross or risk getting hurt where nobody could find the start of the trail let alone find me so I went back to my car. Oh I almost forgot to mention there is absolutely no parking. I parked on the side of the road for my little adventure. I think this was once a nice little park but once the neighborhood was built around it nobody wanted people walking that close to their homes or parking on their narrow streets so they just let it fall apart. I'm sure the wildlife doesn't mind the peace and quiet. I still don't get the bridge though. Maybe when the rain washed the banks away it fell to the bottom of the stream then when the water level went down it just stayed there.
