This recent addition to the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area complex hosts many miles of Georgia mountain forest and stream trails, including the Tobacco Pouch Trail, a 5.4 mile loop. Located east of Jasper, GA, this trail is longer and more strenuous than many of our Eco-A hikes, but we’ll be rewarded with crest-line trails just within the Blue Ridge escarpment, and a major waterfall along Fall Creek. We’ll begin high, at about 2800 feet elevation, then descend to the creek and it will be a long steep return, with an elevation gain of about 1400 feet for the overall hike. Plan for a full day and bring picnic lunch. 

Please be prepared for a wilderness hike experience, there are no facilities at this location.
