Sandy Springs extending Island Ford Trail

Construction is about to begin to extend the Island Ford Trail in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Sandy Springs.

The city is matching a state grant to construct the $125,000, two-mile extension to the trail off Roberts Drive. The Island Ford park area now has a canoe launch, picnic area and fishing area.

The trail extension is expected to be completed by year’s end.
