Very easy hike to the falls. Loved hiking along the creek and learning it flows 550 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. Well shaded due to the trees surrounding the path.

Great trail to walk with a couple of side trails as well. I would rate thus as easy and would even be appropriate for kids, particularly going down to Helen although round trip is doable.

Great hike. The entire trail was along the creek with multiple waterfalls. Several campsites along the trail for those who was to bring gear.

This trail is great for sight seeing, we saw chipmunks, hawks, bees. Great waterfall at the very top. Good intermediate hike.

Woke up this morning at the 3rd campsite from the trailhead. We are a party of five. Hiked today to a campsite closest to the waterfall. Checked out the falls and it’s gorgeous. Reminds me of some steep climbs I’ve done at Sunset Rock at Lookout Mountain and Anna Ruby Falls. Very similar to the AT which is just a stone’s throw from us (Hogpen Gap). More day hikers than I’d like and most people have dogs. The autumn leaves are starting to make a glorious appearance.

Trail up to the falls is finally opened. Very popular hiking trail. There are still lots of places where the original trail has been washed out. Be prepared to get your feet wet. Also, do look for alternate paths that are there to make stream crossings more manageable - especially if you have children in the group

Great day to hike. Nice and warm - Not hot.
Do go down to see the origins of Chattahoochee River - Origins of any mighty river gives one pause for thought.

Amazing trail. Not too hard after you test your balance on a tree crossing at about .3 miles in. The trail follows the stream all the way up with multiple smaller falls along the 2.8 miles out. Make sure you finish, the falls at the top are beautiful.

Tray Mountain Road is a nice easy ride in the north Georgia Mountains. No significant obstacles. You need clearance, but if it’s dry you won’t need 4x4

This was a very easy trail. Great to take you pet for a walk on. The observation deck is outstanding. Providing a great place to eat a snack, take some pictures, etc. I would recommend this to anyone for a breath of fresh air and beautiful scenery.

This is a nice ride in the North Georgia mountains. Not much of a view in the summer, but it looks like a great place for fall/winter views. There are a few water/mud crossings and the hike to High Shoals falls is very nice. Take plenty of water if you do the hike, the return trip is all uphill.

Fairly easy trail. Not much to see. Lots of overgrowth for pinstriping! Lots of fallen trees along the area, but mostly cleared trail way. Puddles were not deep at all - did not need 4wd.

As of 03/18/2021, this trail is still closed due to debris and washed out trails. DOF stated anyone caught on this trail is subject to trespass and/or fines. My family will try again next year to hike it.

Favorite Warwoman trail. Made it with a stock wrangler JL with 32” terra grapplers G2.

Trail starts at a “primitive road” sign and is a nice walk until going down to the water. It’s steep. Be prepared to cross the creek to get close to the waterfall. It was ankle deep the day I was there.

Did this the day after Thanksgiving and there was lots of people doing this hike. Not sure who makes the biggest mess the humans or there dogs. Leave no trace!

Did this in a stock T4R. Never spun a tire...did use A-Trac a couple times. The biggest issue was ground clearance. I did scrub the front skid a couple of times and bottomed out twice. Other than that no issues. It did rain the night before pretty steady for several hours so the trail was good and wet.

Known as the Jeep road because they can make it to the end. Everyone else about out of luck.

Fun up and down ride from Hale Ridge to Overflow Rd. And back. no grades too hard.

Panther Creek Trail is closed as of November 2020. Recent storms washed away bridges and caused significant erosion along exposed trail.
No known reopening date has been scheduled.

Starting from Hwy 76 and heading south on the AT, be prepared for extreme elevation ground with few level hiking areas for the first 3 miles. There is a vista with a great view of Lake Burton on the east side of the trail and it is a very short side trail to arrive at the view. Return hike was much easier as it was descending about 1200’ in elevation.

Pretty hike, fern-covered Forest ground leading up to beautiful vista. Part of the AT, going south.

It was $4.00 to park in the area (to help with maintaining the area, but on the honor system really). The hike going down was easy enough for our 4yo daughter. The hike back up she became tired and we carried her the rest of the way. The start of the hike descended down into the valley. Once at the bottom of the trail, there was a boardwalk with some quasi-benches to sit on. We had lunch by the waterfall, but there was no way to be part of the waterfall like some of the other places. The area was fenced off and they had signs stating traveling off the path would result in fines. The view of the split waterfalls were spectacular.

Great hike under the rhododendrons, and spectacular views at the top.

This was my first water-fording experience with my new Jeep. Had a blast and will definitely be back in the future to grab one of the camp spots.

Most intense section of Part 3 2019.
Best to go from west to east. Downhill for the worst of it.
Large Rocks, Deep Ruts and Mud Pits, Steep Drops.
