Description
Pay to Park at the trailhead off of Cobb parkway and start in heading north along the river. Stay on the paved path and wind around over the river and through the woods. This is an excellent piney woods hike up and over a few tough hills. This trail will challenge you to catch your breath before the next push. It can either be done as an out and back or connected to some of the other National Park System trails to make for a longer hike. Easy access from the Hyatt House off of Cumberland Blvd.
