Trail Overview

If you are looking for group camping opportunities alongside a rushing creek, this is your trail! This route is very beginner-friendly, consisting mostly of loose gravel and dirt. Many families and larger groups car camp in designated areas along the creek on the west side of the road. Be sure to arrive early if you are interested in camping, as these spots can fill up quickly in the warmer seasons. Chester Creek and Noontootla Creek provide ample opportunities to explore water features close to camp. If you are looking to hike, the Appalachian Trail also passes through at coordinates (34.66351, -84.18407). There are many areas to turn around if needed, as most of the trail is wide enough for two vehicles. Be sure to respect the designated camping signs posted alongside the trail if you are interested in camping.
