BARTRAM TRAIL
RABUN BALD VIA RABUN GAP

NOVEMBER 16, 2002

The Bartram Trail is a national recreation trail that travels across the mountains of South Carolina, Georgia, and the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina.  The trail is named after William Bartram, a naturalist who roamed the southern woods in 1775. He studied plants and animals and recorded his findings in a journal published as The Travels of William Bartram. The trail is blazed in yellow on the Chattahoochee National Forest, and it stretches for thirty-six miles in the state of Georgia.  (For more information, you can visit the Bartram Trail Society website.  Its members volunteer for trail development, construction, maintenance and repair.)    

This section of the Bartram Trail heads southbound from Rabun Gap to Rabun Bald (4,696 feet) and is a backtrack hike.  An old road provides access to Rabun Gap and four wheel drive is highly recommended for it.
