On Your Own
Always wanted to hike on the famed and historic Appalachian Trail? You are only a short drive away from two very scenic sections of the AT. Go on your own and park at the paved parking lot at Woody Gap with pit toilets. Leaving from Woody Gap and going south to Ramrock Mountain, then back to Woody Gap, a distance of 2.5 miles. Ascend Ramrock Mountain with spectacular views to the south. On a clear day, you can see the skyscrapers of Atlanta and Stone Mountain 70 miles away! For a longer hike, continue on to Gooch Gap and back for a round trip distance of 7 miles.

OR leave Woody Gap and go north ascending to the spectacular view at Preachers Rock then return to Woody Gap, a distance of 3 miles.

If you are interested in these hikes or others in the area, check at the Trail Fest Booth for directions or answers to questions. Information provided by Trail Fest for those who would like to hike the AT, but this is not a Trail Fest sponsored activity.
