Etowah Trail
Length: 5 miles Difficulty: Moderate
This trail is managed and maintained by Troop 241 Boy Scouts of America. This is a hiking trail only. Mountain bikes and ORV’s are not permitted. This trail actually starts in the Rock Creek Estates Subdivision, with a connecting trail to Boling Park.
The trail descends gradually along forest roads down to a ridge until reaching the Etowah River. At the river, the trail makes a sharp right turn onto the abandoned Canton-Sutalle roadway, which parallels the river. The closeness to the river, combined with the steep adjacent terrain, makes this one of the most interesting portions of the trail. Leaving the river, the trail follows to the right of the roadbed cut, and climbs gently until intersecting with a dirt road. The trail crosses the road, and braids its way through several valleys and ridge tops before making its final destination at New Hightower Church. Plants and wildlife are in abundance along this trail. Remaining quiet and keeping a watchful eye should help you obtain the natural experience you seek.
