of miles of trails that are as diverse as the land itself criss-cross America’s
recreational areas. Hiking trails range from steep technical climbs
over rocks and iron ladders, to relatively flat lakeshore paths blanketed
in pine needles. Hiking is an easy, low cost way to discover the great outdoors,
and there are hiking opportunities for almost anyone at any age and ability
level.
Many of our public recreational areas feature paved trails to accommodate
wheelchair access. Guided hikes are also available at many locations.
Fees and seasonal restrictions may vary from site to site. For more detailed
information about a particular trail, including detailed trail maps and
information about current trail conditions, please contact that site directly.

Yellowstone National Park, encompassing 2.2 million acres, is one of America's premier wilderness areas. Most of the park is backcountry and managed as wilderness.

You couldn’t have picked a better spot…these are some of the most beautiful trails in the Southeast. The Appalachian Trail (AT) began as a vision of forester Benton MacKaye, was developed by volunteers and opened as a continuous trail in 1937. Many of the trails you will see here (both waterfall and scenic) link either to the AT or to the BMT (Benton MacKaye Trail) and range in difficulty from simple walks to fairly challenging hikes. We strongly recommend you follow the links on this page and heed the suggestions of those who have taken these paths before you to ensure a safe, enjoyable day. Have fun hiking the North Georgia Mountains! |
