HIGHLIGHTS: The Chattooga
River Trail
is a forty mile route that borders the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia and follows the banks of the Chattooga National Wild And
Scenic River from Burrell's Ford to US 76. Congress designated the river
on May 10, 1974 and it is often used by kayakers, hikers, backpackers, and
fisherman as it winds from the North Carolina mountains to Lake Tugaloo.
The Chattooga River Trail shares its pathway with both the Foothills and Bartram
Trails in the Russell Bridge area, but it stays close to the river for its
entire distance unlike the other major southeastern trails.
