The Sope Creek Trail is located in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area near Atlanta, Georgia. This1.5-mile loop offers a moderate, dog-friendly hike through a young hardwood forestt o the the ruins of a Civil War-era paper mill. It was destroyed by Union troops in 1864 due to its role in producing paper for Confederate currency. These multi-story, castle-like ruins stand along the banks of Sope Creek, where a small waterfall flows near the remaining stone walls. You can explore both sides of the creek, enjoying views of the ruins and colorful wildflowers in the spring. As you continue along the trail, you reach Sibley Pond, where turtles and large fish live. The path circles the pond’s grassy, scenic shore before returning to the trailhead.
