Callaway Gardens
The s/o and I are planning a retreat for the evening with a ride though the park tomorrow. I can't seem to find any elevation profiles for the bike path, or park in general. I don't recall it being particularly hilly, but in a car that is lost.
Anyone ridden there can comment on hills and the state of the bike paths?

Just FYI, the bike paths are all freshly repaved except in front on the South end of the golf course. The brochure states 7 miles of path, but you must ride between 9-10 to be back where you parked if you ride the whole path. There point where you are at the Butterfly Center and (need to get back to) the Discovery Center is not well marked, and obviously quite a few people just ride the (dirt) walking trail back over.
The hills are gentle, but there are a couple that are decent enough to be effort for a non rider.
The Gardens aspect of this location is going away. New owner are changing to a themed park. The golf course may not survive. Sad news.
