Information Provided by the
Pine Mountain Trail
Association
This main trail and connecting loops that crosses and follows the
beautiful Pine Mountain ridge in west central Georgia, is inside the
Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park and near Callaway Gardens.
Quiet woods, sparkling streams, misty waterfalls, rock
outcroppings, varied forest, scenic overlooks, deer and turkey await your
discovery. Just follow the blazes (6” by 2 ½” rectangles painted on
trees). Two-foot-high rock
cairns and mileage markers assist the hiker. Wooden location and mileage
signs have been placed at each road crossing, trail head, junction,
campsite, and at all named parking lots.

| The Pine Mountain Trail offers clear crisp views of distant ridges
in winter, with occasional snowfall.
In the summer there are lush green ferns and lowland flowers.
Wild flowers are abundant and in spring you will find flowering
dogwood, native azalea, mountain laurel and rhododendron.
Fall brings bright and beautiful leaves of hickory, oak, dogwood
and maple, which change from day to day. |
