Description

Learn about Constitution Lakes in southwest DeKalb County, the site of a late 19th century brickworks Constitution Lakes in southwest DeKalb County is the site of a late 19th century brickworks. The ponds are actually flooded clay-pits dug by the South River Brick Company. This is now an outstanding wetland area. A few of the topics to be discussed include the Native American connection to the nearby Soapstone Ridge and Atlanta brick-making history. Venturing further, we will tour the Doll’s Head Trail, with artwork made from items found in the park. This tour is about 2.5 miles long over mostly level ground and will take about 2 hours. There are no facilities. Please meet in the parking lot. All Phoenix Flies programs adhere to current City of Atlanta health and safety guidelines.
