Round trip distance for all caches along the route from either parking lot is about 2 1/4 miles. The CRNRA Cochran Shoals parking lot has a $3.00 daily parking fee.

Note: The caches along the Bob Callan/Rottenwood Creek Trail and the Akers Mill Trail are best accessed by foot or bicycle from parking lots located at the north end of the Bob Callan/Rottenwood Creek Trail or the Chattahoochee River National Recreational Area Cochran Shoals at Eugene Gunby Road. U kunt Greenbriar Mall in een paar minuten met de auto bereiken. Camp Creek Marketplace ligt circa 4,3 km verderop.

Een parkeerplaatsen is voorzien ter plekke. The cache is a cammo'ed pill bottle located off the ground and contains only the log so bring your own pencil. Cascade Comfort Hotel Atlanta ligt op 7 km van Georgia International Convention Center en beschikt over een Wi-Fi in de hele woning. GPS accuracy is poor in this area so use the hint if needed. The cache is located only about 850 feet from the parking lot so it is a short easy hike. The 'Bob Callan' section of the trail offers few, if any, viable locations for a regular cache and the CNRA, where caches are not allowed, begins a short distance from the cache location so we decided to make this one of the 'streak extender' series. There is paved parking lot at the trailhead. The trail follows the creek on down to the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Shortly after passing under I-285, the trail enters the Chattahoochee National Recreation area where it is known as the Rottenwood Creek Trail. It is a paved trail that winds along Rottenwood Creek under a portion of the Interstate 75/285 interchange.

At the trailhead it is identified as the Bob Callan Trail. The mills developed shortly before the Civil War, were sold to the Akers family in 1873. The gristmill built into the bank overlooking the creek, with six terraces each acting as an individual floor in the mill operation. The Rottenwood Creek trail connects the Chattahoochee River trail in West Palisades with the Bob Callan trail and as you may have guessed it follows the Rottenwood Creek which powered the old Akers Mill and provides minor cascades for us to enjoy along the way for much of the hike.There is a little known but delightful trail along Rottenwood Creek that recently opened. Akers Mill, was a complex of at least two 19th-century mills along Rottenwood Creek in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. As you walk the 3.6 mile paved trail, youre met with a surreal juxtaposition of undeniably beautiful nature and urban signs of the city.

It begins near the intersection of Paces Mill Road and Cobb Parkway. The sanctuary seats 2,800, is 240 feet (73 m) high, consists of 100,000 square feet (9,300 m 2) of space, and has over 90 stained-glass windows.
