The Town of Braselton currently has a park near downtown Braselton. (directions) The Town is also planning a multi-use park facility near the intersection of Highway 124 and the Mulberry River. (Concept Plan)
One of the more exciting recreational sites will be along the Mulberry River north of Interstate 85. The Mulberry River derives its name from the Cherokee Indians referring to Kuwa yi- translating to Mulberry Place. Jackson County history also lists Tishmaqgu as another name for this River, possibly of the Creek Indian origins.
The Town has identified the Mulberry River and its banks as a portion of Braselton that the Town believes should be protected and preserved. To further this purpose, the Town has acquired over 100 acres along the river, with plans for hundreds more acres to be acquired.
The Town plans to construct a walking path with perennial gardens, footbridges and picnic areas along the river for all the public to enjoy. (River Walk) (River Walk Trails)
The trail has been constructed and the public parking lot is located on Liberty Church Road.
If you are interested in the River Walk project, please contact
jdees@braselton.net. We will be seeking volunteers for planting, design guidance and ongoing maintenance of this project which we believe will help to protect the Town’s most important natural resource.
