Little Mulberry Park Phase II Now Open!

Little Mulberry Park is a bit of a misnomer. As the second largest park in Gwnnett at 890 Acres, it's more of a monster of a park than many others that would even compare. For the longest time the entrance on Fence road has allowed many of us our own private park. Now with this phase opening we are having to share it with the rest of the world.

Phase two opens up a 2.2 mile trek around the lake itself. It's a mostly shaded walk and has all if not more charm than the older trails. What's spectacular about this addition is the ability to fish off part of the trail in the lake. There's something to offer everyone here, and plans are in the future for playgrounds and areas for seating and recreation.

Whether you're in Hamilton Mill, Trilogy Park, Apalachee Farms or even Reunion this makes an excellent park to have a picnic or a good walk. All of the aforementioned neighborhoods have oustanding amenities but sometimes it's just good to get out!

The official release is here:

Acres: 890Phase 1 of Little Mulberry Park encompasses 485 acres of the 890-acre park, and features five miles of trails including two one-mile paved multi-purpose trails, a handicap-accessible trail around a pond, and more than two miles of woodland foot trails. Other amenities include a large rustic picnic pavilion, two smaller picnic pavilions, restrooms, a playground, and an observation terrace at the peak of the West Meadow that is one of the highest elevations in Gwinnett County. Phase II (open September 15, 2006) includes the 200-acre Karina Miller Nature Preserve, additional trails including those designed for equestrian use, a connector trail to the rest of the park on the Fence Road side, a lake with several fishing piers, and a second entrance on Hog Mountain Road. An addtional parking lot, for equestrian use only, is located on the side of the park that faces Mineral Springs Road. Little Mulberry Park is the second largest park owned by Gwinnett County.
