Coosa Backcountry Trail ~ 14 miles Difficult

Let's Take-a-Hike on the Coosa Backcountry Trail! This is a difficult hike so no beginners please.

The Coosa Backcountry Trail is a loop trail that starts at Vogel State Park. It passes Coosa Bald and Slaughter Mountain. This is an exploratory trail and one to check off this list. We will hike at a speed of about 2.0-2.5 miles per hour.

AllTrails is listing this hike at 14 miles with 3630 elevation gain. With the distance and elevation, I'm estimating 8 hours for this hike to build in time for breaks.

We will meet at the new Vogel State Park Visitors center at 9:30am. There is a $10 fee unless you have the Georgia State Parks annual park pass. Please bring plenty of water and snacks. We will stop for a lunch break along the trail. Hiking poles are recommended.

Hope to see you there, and of course please remember that you will be participating entirely at your own risk as Suwanee Take-a-Hikers assumes absolutely no liability (nada, zero, zilch, zip) for adverse events which may occur during meetups.
