SUMMARY:Hiking - Three Forks Trail - #_LOCATIONNAME - 20 Jul 13 08:30
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, July 20\, 2013\nDistance: 8 miles.\nDifficulty
 : D3-D4\nCarpool Time: 8:30 AM at Intown Community Church\n(Driving Time: 
 1 hour 45 minutes)\nCost: $15 per person for 4 people sharing a car.\nHik
 e Leader: Peter de Lastic (770-880-2966)\n\nThree Forks is the confluence 
 of Holcomb Creek\, Overflow Creek and Big Creek to form the West Fork of t
 he ChattoogaRiver. The three creeks and the West Fork are part of the Chat
 tooga Wild and ScenicRiver\, the only area in Georgia with this designatio
 n. The trail to Three Forks is through dense forests and although it is st
 eep the last half mile of three-plus miles on an old logging road\, it is 
 well used and easy to walk. The area is remote\, beautiful\, very impressi
 ve and well worth the trip.\n\nThe trail first will take us to the 15 foot
  rugged OverflowFalls\, with a huge swimming pool beneath. We will enjoy 
 the beauty for a short while\, then we will bushwhack our way on old over
 grown\, forest service roads toward the Big Creek and the 'Three Forks' i
 ntersection. Here we will have lunch &amp\; swim for about 30 minutes.. Fr
 om here we will cross Overflow Creek to visit another nice waterfall and s
 wimming hole on Holcomb Creek\, some 20' high. We will stay \,and swim a
 s long as the group wants  before returning to the Big Creek trail\, wit
 h its initial short but steep uphill climbs to 2 more increasingly beautif
 ul waterfalls on Big Creek\; capped by a stunning\, wild 3-tiered 50' beau
 ty\, in a deep gorge. . After the last waterfall we make out way out the r
 elatively mellow uphill to easy road walk out to our cars.\n\nRequired Ite
 ms to Bring:\n-backpack\n-hiking boots/shoes or strong tennis shoes. No fl
 ip flops or sandals.\n-lunch\n-high fuel trail snacks\n-plenty of water or
  sport drink 2 litres\n-camera (optional)\n-bathing suit (if you want to g
 et wet in the pools and rivers)
