Description
Locating the trail head was probably the most difficult part of the trail. Once found, the trail itself was outstanding! We hiked this trail the last weekend of Sept., so the weather was definately in our favor. Couple this with the little rain fall, and the river crossings became welcomed events. There was a little more traffic than usual, but everyone that we met had there own camp site well spaced out from others. The trail blazes were easy to spot and easy to navigate. I did have some trouble with my GPS at some points, but I was able to easily navigate. I only packed a Camel Pack "Mule" with and extra pair of shoes and socks. Do bring either Teva's or good mesh shoes, you will have to endure wet feet for the majority of the trail.

Directions to Hike
From Atlanta, take I-75 North to I-575 North. I-575 will turn into US 76. At the US 75/GA 5 intersection north of Blue Ridge, travel north on GA 5 toward McCaysville for about 3.8 miles. Turn left onto Old GA 2. Stay on Old GA 2 for about 10.5 miles. Old GA 2 is paved for the first nine miles or so. Take a hard right onto FS 22 and drive about 3.7 miles to the trail head at Dally Gap. We were able to clear this last 3.7 miles in a Honda Accord with some scrapes on the gravel road. There are some steep dropoffs and no guardrails.
