Elachee Nature Center

"Savor the tranquil beauty of one of Georgia’s most diverse and largest protected green spaces. This urban forest features rolling typography and four diverse habitats: woodland, lake, stream and wetland."

Join us for a challenging strenuous hike at Elachee Nature Center. Our 6-8 mile hike will take through the woods with some elevations. Be prepared to maintain a brisk 2.5 mph pace. The elevations can make this trail challenging, so this hike is not for beginners. Please be prepared for the pace and mileage.

NOTE: $5 parking fee charged at the front gate (GA park pass doesn't work:)

We will start promptly at 9:00 am from the Gravel parking lot where hiker's meet at the trailhead. When you cross over 985 it is the first lot on the right. Please be on time to ensure we can start as a group.

Sorry, dogs are not allowed on this trail.

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a beginner, we welcome all skill levels, but participants should be able to maintain pace with the group at 2.5.
