The
Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a wilderness footpath that winds over 2100 miles
along the crest of the Appalachian mountains. Stretching from Springer Mountain in Georgia
to Katahdin in Main, the trail passes through fourteen states, 8 national forest, and 2
national parks. Hikers are responsible for the upkeep of the primitive shelters and
trailside campsites, located 7 to 8 miles apart. The Trail was originally established by
hiking enthusiasts in the 1920's and 30's and it became one of the two initial units of
the National Trail System established by the U.S. Congress in 1968.
The
Appalachian Trail in Georgia extends some 80 miles through primitive areas of the
Chattahoochee National Forest. Although rising at times to elevations of over 4400 feet,
the Trail is mostly along the ridges at elevations around 3000 feet. It offers unlimited
hiking adventure of exceptional challenge and variety. Ascents and descents are sometimes
steep , but are often rewarded by scenic vistas from rocky outcrops and open summits.
The
Trail's southern terminus is located atop remote Springer Mountain, near Forest Service
Rd. 42. Since this area is difficult to reach by automobile, an 8.5-mile blue-blazed
"approach trail" begins at Amicalola Falls State Park on GA 52. Outstanding
