Itinerary:

Ellicott Rock In 1811 David B. Mitchell, the governor of Georgia, contracted the Pennsylvanian surveyor, Andrew Ellicott, to determine the northern border of his state. For years the border between North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia were disputed. Because the borders in this area was in dispute, this was a haven for thieves and other ner' do wells that wanted to avoid law enforcement. The area was referred to as the "Orphan Strip" and was a dangerous place to travel. We will hike to pass the Ellicott Rock, to the end of the trail & return the same way ( 15 miles)

The east trailhead is at a bridge just past the Fish Hatchery and picnic area. Didn't log the exact mileage down once you turn on Fish Hatchery Road, but it is not immediately when you turn.
