BartramTrail to Laurel Branch



What I love about this hiking group is that you never know who will show up. Newbies, regular hikers and the occasionaly hikers. We have lots of laughs and share information as we wonder through the woods. Todays hike took us to the Georgia State Line on Hwy 28. We drove about 17 miles north and The Bartram Trail parking area is just over the Russell Bridge (Chattooga River)and the trail head starts across the street. This particialar area of the trail is in the Chattoga River Flood Plain and I thought I could see evidence of some recent flooding. A beautful day for a 7.5 mile round trip hike that included several wooden bridge crossings and a site of an historic farmstead. Our picnic was enjoyed on the banks of Laurel Branch Creek.
