The Sarah's Creek Road hiking trail in Clayton, Georgia is a moderately challenging route that spans approximately 8.77 miles. The trail is marked by a variety of natural features, including a clear, flowing creek and a dense forest of oak and pine trees. The trail's terrain varies, with some sections featuring a gentle incline and others offering a more rigorous uphill climb. One of the trail's key landmarks is a large, unique rock formation located about halfway along the route. This formation provides a natural resting point and offers panoramic views of the surrounding forest. The trail also passes by a small, tranquil lake, which is home to a variety of local bird species. Hikers should note that the trail can be muddy and slippery after rain, so appropriate footwear is recommended. The trail is well-marked, but hikers should still carry a map or GPS for navigation. Despite its moderate difficulty, the Sarah's Creek Road trail offers a rewarding hike with diverse natural features.

Hike to Rabun Bald
Starting at the trailhead you begin by following the yellow blazes. The trail isn't well marked so keep an eye out for the blazes you see. The trailhead starts at the dead end of Kelsey Mountain Trail. The path immediately starts to incline and doesn't stop. A few minutes in you will come to a fork in the trail. We chose the right path and that took us straight there. At 0.8 of a mile in you r...

Very nice dog-friendly and family-friendly adventure! The hike is not long at all and the end result is a beautiful 70 ft waterfall with a pooled area at the bottom! Old logs are around for sitting on and relaxing while enjoying your lunch or snacks...
Hike to Kings Creek Falls
The trail to Kings Creek begins behind the bulletin board in the Burrells Ford primitive campground parking lot. It is an easy .5 mile trail to the falls. The falls are only 70ft high but they are beautiful, there is an area to the side of the falls with some nice sitting rocks and the area underneath the falls is very shallow so it's easy for children to wade around in it.
Hike the James E. Edmond trail to Lookoff Mountain Overlook
Black Rock Mountain State Park is Georgia's highest elevation State Park. It is adorned with several waterfalls, sweeping overlooks, blooming Rhododendron's, and plenty of miles of trail. The James E. Edmond trail is the longest and by far most challenging hike in the park. Its medium-long distance and steep descents and climbs make it a killer half-day workout, or an awesome backpacking adv...
