New Trails! Updated Map!

On our March 18, 2012, Volunteer Trail Day we completed the Riverside-Campground Loop. The loop itself is 3/4 mile, but access from the Riverside Trail Head makes it about 0.9 mile.

The loop connects Campgrounds 1 and 2 to the Riverside Trail 0.15 mile upriver from the Riverside Trail Head, AND near Bridge 3, about 0.4 mile from the Observation Tower.

The trail is marked with blue blazes: rectangles for the main trail and diamonds for the spur trail. Non-campers should hike the loop beginning at the Riverside Trail Head.

Volunteer Opportunities ~ Trails

Hiking Trails

Volunteer Trail Days are usually every fourth Saturday, except in Nov and Dec. We've also had 'floating' Trail Days for the past couple months. Our Adopt-A-Trail program is an on-your-own-time opportunity to keep a section of trail pleasant to hike.

Mountain Bike Trails

The Muddy Spokes committee has flagged 12-13 miles of MTB trail, and they're awaiting review by GA DNR. If you or someone you know is a mountain bike rider, we will soon need volunteers to build and maintain the trails.

Horseback Trails

Equestrian Trails are being scouted. To assist our experts, contact friendsofchattahoocheebend@gmail.com.
