Tennessee Rock Trail at Black Rock Mountain State Park
Details
Hi Group, it's Angie. I will be camping at Black Rock Mountain State Park and will be hiking the Tennessee Rock Trail inside the park and I'd love some company.
Here is information on the trail from Atlanta Trails:

We will meet at the trail head for a prompt start at 10:30 am, so plan to arrive around 10:15 or earlier. The hike is moderate to strenuous and does include some incline. The views are remarkable and the climb is worth it! Here are the GPS coordinates for the trail head:
34.907333, -83.412117 // N34 54.440 W83 24.727
Use whatever navigation program you use to get to Black Rock Mountain State Park in Rabun County. It's about 2 hours northwest of Atlanta in Mountain City, GA. Here is the address for the park:
3085 Black Rock Mountain Parkway
Mountain City, GA 30562
Rabun County
GPS Coordinates
N 34.9069220 | W -83.4083750
There is a $5 parking fee for entrance into the park. You can use the GA State Park Pass as well.
Once inside the park, you will navigate to the Tennessee Rock Trail parking area. There are ample signs to direct you, but if you are not a sign reader, the good folks in the visitor's center can give you directions. Here is a link for the state park for you to investigate further:

The parking lot for the trail head is small, so consider carpooling. If needed, some cars can park at the Visitors Center and then everyone pile in a few cars to the trail head.
I will begin hiking on time, so please plan accordingly with travel time and knowing where to go inside the park, etc. so you can arrive on time to begin hiking at 10:30 am.
Be sure to bring water, food, hiking poles, etc. Plan for the weather, season and conditions. Again, the hike is challenging, so please do not attend if you are not a fit hiker.
I am happy to answer questions prior to the day of the hike, but I will not be available to answer questions the day of the hike. Please do you homework on location and traveling to the hike, etc. before the day of the hike.
I look forward to seeing everyone there!
