Located at 2020 Lenox Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30324, Morningside Nature Preserve encompasses 33.1 square acres of forest in northeast Atlanta that is bisected by the South Fork Peachtree Creek. Within the park is the South Fork Nature Creek and a 2-mile nature trail that begins on both ends of the preserve. There are two trailheads: one at Wellbourne Road and the other at the Georgia Power Substation on Lenox Road. A suspension bridge over the creek connects the trails on both sides. Dog owners frequently bring their dogs to play on the shore and shallow water under the bridge, so the area has become known as Atlanta’s “dog beach” on South Peachtree Creek. Dogs on a leash are allowed in the park and on the beach.
