Itinerary:
Pine Mountain Recreation Area is the newest recreation area in the City of Cartersville. The East Loop Trailhead connects the city to Lake Allatoona's shoreline and reaches 1,562 feet above sea level. The rugged and challenging trail development crosses Pine Mountain and Hurricane Hollow, so named by early miners. The land is part of the 13,000 acres that were originally the site of Mark Cooper's Iron Empire. The new West Loop Trailhead is now open at I-75 Exit 288, at the entrance to Komatsu. The West Loop connector will be completed in Spring 2009 that will tie the Pine Mountain Trails to Cooper's Furnace Nature Trail at the Etowah River. Pine Mountain Trails are open daily for hiking.

We plan on doing the West & East Loops with an out/back to summit overlook, with an additional lap option. We'll meet at the West Loop parking.
