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.

Parking & Carpooling Info:  We will meet at the Home Depot, conduct our safety briefing and depart for the trail — due to limited parking at the trailhead, we will carpool to Watson Gap.

Plan for the Day:  We will be doing some repairs to the Mill Creek Bridge (mile point 74.8) on Section 10a. This project will involve moving lumber, hardware and tools from FS 22 (mile point 73.8) to the bridge and making the necessary repairs.

Watch for additional information in emails and on the BMTA website!
