BMTA ACTIVITY CALENDAR

BMTA normally schedules four or five hikes per month, some “leisure” hikes that are shorter and easier and some 5 to 8 miles and of moderate difficulty. In addition, we have occasional backpacking hikes and more difficult ones that might be called “hardy hikes.” Occasionally we co-sponsor hikes with other organizations. Some, but not all, of our hikes are “dog friendly.” Although more hikes are in Georgia than the other states, you will find hikes in all three BMT states: Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

*Please refer to: BMTA COVID-19 Hiker Guidelines and Hiker Guidelines.

Caney Creek Historical Community

Moderate 7 miles.

One large creek crossing to the abandoned historical community of Caney Creek on the Ocoee River. See lots of artifacts. This tiny town had mass transit, bathtubs, electric street lights, concrete sidewalks,  tennis courts, hotel, telephones, school and church but no stores. It existed from 1918-1941. No automobiles ever travelled there. For more information Google Caney Creek, TN. Be prepared for an hour’s drive on FS Road 221 in the Cherokee National Forest. Hike Leaders Clare and Ed Sullivan.
