🏕 Backpacking the Georgia Bartram Trail 🥾🥾 Chattahoochee National Forest🐻

EVENT IS FULL! RSVP's closed

Those with the requisite experience and conditioning level can expect a challenging & strenuous primitive experience. You will be well rewarded for your efforts and tenacity.
This will be a loop of about 42 miles. We'll plan on 4 nights camping, hiking out on day 5.
Be prepared for freezing temperatures at night. Groundwater sources are to be considered "intermittent".
I will have a handsaw available for you to use for cutting firewood in the evenings. Another handsaw would be helpful. We will possibly encounter new obstruction for which such will be helpful/necessary.

The named falls in order are:

• Dick's Creek
• Becky Branch
• Martin Creek

Scenic Overlooks and outcroppings include:

• Pinnacle Nob
• Rabun Bald

This trail was destroyed by our recent storms. The Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy, USFS, and other local volunteers have done a remarkable job in recovery and restoration.

Quote from WILLIAM BARTRAM, Colonial naturalist and botanist, commenting on Florida's natural splendor, during his exploration in the pre Revolutionary mid 1700's. He wrote much about Payne's Prairie and has been described as the first naturalist who penetrated the dense tropical forests of Florida.
"Whilst I, continually impelled by a restless spirit of curiosity, in pursuit of new productions of nature, my chief happiness consisted in tracing and admiring the infinite power, majesty, and perfection of the Great Almighty Creator"
