Directions:
Take US 19 and 129 south from Blairsville Georgia for 9.5 miles. Turn right
(west) onto GA 180 and go 7 miles to the main entrance to Lake Winfield Scott
Campground. Turn left into the campground. Follow this road over a hill
and continue straight ahead into a gravel parking lot at the foot of the
hill. From the parking lot, hike along the paved road passing the guard
rail at the head of the lake. The trailhead is on the right of the road
just past the guard rails.
