| Hike Summary: | This short loop hike starts at the Ignatius House and descends via a series of wooden steps to the Chattahooche River. Here it turns back along a small creek with a beautiful waterfall and gradually climbs back up to the Ignatius House. The trail is very well maintained with a number of wooden bridges and decks for viewing both the river and the beautful waterfall. Since this is private property, please get permission before visiting this area. |

This trail is beautful b/c the property is really neat, ie: cascading waterfall over a rock cliff, a 3 story deck that overlooks the Chattahoochee River and it’s riddled w/ spiritual icons and themes b/c it’s a catholic retreat house. The weekend retreats are spectacular and you will encounter God while your there. Give it a try………….pete
