Itinerary:

Ever want to cut new trail? As this multi-use trail rises from the soil, your handprint will be on the trail before anyone ever hikes, bikes or runs this trail.

If you don't have experience with trail work, no problem, we'll show you the what/how/why of a trail while working the trail.

Background: So far, there is a 1-mile beginner/warm-up loop and a 0.4-mile connector trail to a 4-mile Intermediate loop. Another 2-miles of flagged trail have been approved by the GA-DNR and are open for new construction. 2 more miles are flagged and pending approval, and there are another 5 miles of advanced trail potential that hasn't been fully scouted out or flagged at this time

Required Items to Bring:

Closed toe shoes, water
