Hike Summary:	The trail follows the Hiawassee River with excellent fishing spots. Hikers can view the variety of flora along the river. This is another hike that I've completed about a gazillion times as a boy which included healthy doses of swimming when it got hot. This is an easy, easy, hike and great for youngsters but you do need to watch out for Mr. No Shoulders all along the trail, especially Water Moccasins.
