Length: 335 miles.
Links to: Appalachian Trail via Benton McKaye Trail
Southern Terminus: Flagg Mt near Sylacauga, AL
Northern Terminus: Benton McKaye Trail Chattahoochee NF, Georgia
Billed as a link in the Eastern Continental Trail this can truly be considered the southern extension of the Appalachian Trail. Except for one highway crossing the Alabama section is all off road and the Georgia section is a wild and rugged trip through the Chattahoochee National Forest. Ridgeline hiking, Alabama's highest mountain, shelters in the northern half of Alabama. I LOVE THIS TRAIL!!!
