Residents can enjoy walking through woods studded with rock outcroppings and visiting with friends fireside at the new Cherokee Bluffs Park that opened Nov. 20. The 168-acre park at 5867 Blackjack Road in Flowery Branch will eventually include 5 miles of trails; some already have been built, including wooden bridges over the creek and boardwalks. Visitors can get up close to the rock bluff formations, including one overhanging rock that 1800s settlers and Cherokees once used as shelter.
New Cherokee Bluffs Park offers trails, pavilion, amphitheater
