Join us Sunday, October 24th, 2021, for orienteering at Sweetwater Creek State Park. The Start/Finish and parking will be at Picnic Shelter #5. We also have Picnic Shelter #6 reserved for parking and our general use.

Vegetation is thinning and runnability is very good. It's just the hills you need to deal with.

The Yellow course is a bit longer and more challenging than usual, spending more time in the woods (i.e. off trail, but following linear features) than typical.

To maintain the health and safety of all participants and volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic, GAOC is implementing special rules for event participants. Please review and follow the GAOC Pandemic Rules.
