Conasauga River Overnight - North GA

Details

Trying this again! Let's hike the Conasauga River Trail.

The difficulty: Lots of deadfall and brush, no trail markers, many river crossings up to waist deep, and some elevation on the first mile or so.

The good: This trail and river are beautiful and largely untouched. Probably will not see another person out here.

Probably about 6-12 river crossings till we find a spot we'd like to camp. Return back on Sunday. Early start time at 10:30 central/11:30 eastern so we have plenty of time to hike and play in the water.

Preparation:
-- Black bear country so plan food storage accordingly
-- You will take an unintentional swim so everything important should be in dry bags
-- Bring swimwear or a change of clothes for playing in the water
-- Pack as small as possible you won't regret it. Leave the kitchen sink at home.
-- Hiking poles recommended for stability in crossings
-- Read the "How to Find Us" for directions
