Georgia hiking trails - Arkaquah Trail, Blue Ridge Mountains, Union County LOCATION Latitude: 34.87583 Longitude: -83.84333 User input for Arkaquah Trail, Blue Ridge Mountains, Union County, Georgia: Dave: Hiked this trail with a friend on Labour Day weekend 2007 and it was one of the toughest trails that we have done. Parking at Brasstown and hiking down was pretty easy and we stopped to eat at Track Rock. Going back up to Brasstown was pretty brutal even though we are both in good shape. There are few turns or forks, which is good because the trail is NOT marked in many places. We heard reports of a copperhead and yellow jackets on the trail, but only saw red tailed hawks, bugs and worms. There is no water on this trail, but its very shady, at least in the summer. The views are nice and you are advised to take your time climbing using short steady steps. Over 11 miles of hiking total and it took a good 6 hours including rest stops, eating time, pictures, etc. Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Review Guidelines   Alright, enough of spending all this time inside a building, time to get out, and Arkaquah Trail in Union County, Georgia is the outdoors at it's best.
