Trail Overview

Low Gap Campground is located within 100 yards after turning onto FS-44A and offers camping, picnicking, and fishing. There are numerous campsites available with tables and fire rings. Low Gap Campground offers one of the only water crossings in the immediate area. Most trucks and SUVs will easily ford the 6-8" deep water to gain access to more campsites and a vault-style toilet. Further exploration of FS-44A is prohibited due to a locked gate on the far side of the campground. A legally licensed vehicle is required to use the forestry road system. Cell service was excellent with Verizon and Google Fi. FS-44A is located within the Chattahoochee WMA and the Chattahoochee National Forest.
