Georgia
In Georgia, the Bartram Trail covers 37.7 miles (60.7 km). After entering Georgia from North Carolina, the trail follows a ridge line to its highest point in Georgia at Rabun Bald, 4,696 feet (1,431 m), the second-highest point in the state, along the Eastern Continental Divide. From there it passes Martin Creek Falls and Becky Branch Falls as it drops to go through Warwoman Dell. From Warwoman Dell, it climbs again before dropping to its lowest elevations along a stretch of the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River. In addition to a number of waterfalls like Martin Creek Falls and Becky Branch Falls and vistas from Rabun Bald, the Bartram Trail offers a great deal of scenic beauty.
The Georgia portion of the trail is entirely in the Chattooga River District of the Chattahoochee National Forest and is managed by the United States Forest Service. The southern terminus of the Bartram Trail is at its intersection with Georgia State Route 28 at the South Carolina state line.

“Being a Georgia author is a rather specious dignity, on the same order as, for the pig, being a Talmadge ham.”
