Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve
The Chicopee Woods Mature Preserve is a 1200- acre parcel
of land that is a good example of a mixed hardwood (oak-hickory) piedmont
forest. It is located just south of Gainesville
on Atlanta Highway. Calvary Church Road
serves as a southern boundary. The
Preserve has one major tributary of the Oconee River and several smaller creeks
flowing through its boundaries. A 13
acre pond and extensive wetlands are located near Calvary Church Road
(accessible area). Thirteen miles of
hiking trails lace the trail.
