Ellicott Rock Trail   Hiked the trail on 11/21/10 and it is still impassable. Got very close to the Chattooga (could literally see it), but could not get to it. Awesome hike, but frustrating bc we could not see the prize of the hike. Says Drew Hiked the trail today, and it was impassable at the Chattooga River, most of the trail had downed trees and limbs which made the 3.5 mile trek very difficult.  Once we reached the river, we literally had nowhere to go but to backtrack.  Until the trail  is cleaned up, I would not recommend this trail to anyone.
