Fireworks are ALWAYS prohibited in national forests regardless of weather or conditions! Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests have fire restrictions in effect. A park-wide fire ban is in effect for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Chattahoochee National Forest lifted fire restrictions 5/4/2026.

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.
