Appalachian National Scenic Trail

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a 2,158-mile (3,480.6 km) footpath along the ridge crests and across the major valleys of the Appalachian Mountains from Katahdin in the central Maine wilderness to Springer Mountain in a designated wilderness area in north Georgia.

The Trail in Georgia lies entirely within Chattahoochee National Forest. The wilderness, elevation, and ruggedness of the area are decidedly unexpected. As highways cross the Blue Ridge at intervals of a moderate day's journey, the Trail in this area is readily accessible and offers many options for splendid trips.

Permits are not required in Georgia. Vehicles and pack animals are prohibited.
