This parking area provides access to the Coosa WMA's 11. 4-mile hiking trail with trailheads at both ends and two primitive campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis at no cost.

The location also offers canoe access to Hatchet Creek via nearby put-in and take-out points along county roads. A shooting range with wheelchair-accessible benches is located just north of the east trailhead for those with valid hunting or fishing licenses.
