Description
To reach the mini-rapids and broad flat water of the scenic Chattooga River, follow this gently sloping .3-mile hiking trail. You will descend through mixed hardwood and pine forest in the quiet, fresh mountain air. A number of small foot paths divert from the easy to follow main trail. Just before you reach the river, go left at the boulder and you will reach the riverbank. Watch for deer, snakes, and other wildlife.
