With a myriad of different hiking trails scattered throughout the breathtaking state of Georgia, outdoor enthusiasts are sure to find a plethora of exciting scenery, wildlife, and monumental landscapes. From the swampy marshlands of Skidaway Island State Park in Savannah, to the numerous mountain trails in the northern territory, Georgia’s hiking opportunities are not only stunning, but varied in terms of difficulty and terrain.

Although the hiking opportunities near the coast are gorgeous, many outdoor enthusiasts prefer the mountain trails most of all. From remarkable views atop a pristine mountain, impressive gorges and canyons, and spectacular waterfalls plunging from striking heights, the mountain hiking trails are more than marvelous. With smaller trails extending from the Appalachian Trail, a ‘mini Grand Canyon’ in Providence Canyon State Park, and some of the tallest waterfalls in the Eastern portion of the country, there is something for everyone to enjoy in the mountains of Georgia. Depending on the destination, visitors may have the opportunity to explore one of the caves tucked away in the mountainside. Marble Mine Trail and Cloudland Canyon are both popular for their impressive caves. Hikers could expect a more strenuous terrain with steep inclines and treacherous cliffs throughout the mountains, but easier trails, such as the Tallulah Gorge North Rim, still provide thrilling views for far less effort and sweat.

Regardless of where a hiker chooses to venture in the state of Georgia, they are sure to be impressed with some of the most outstanding views and a relatively mild climate that supports a variety of beautiful wildlife creatures. Happy hiking!

Hikers that visit the state parks near the coast will have an opportunity to explore the nature of wetlands and beaches.

Hikers here might have the chance to see lanky cranes, Spanish moss literally weeping from the limbs of the canopy, and maybe even an alligator. The trails in this part of the state are relatively easy to explore, and with few to no drastic changes in the elevation, it makes for a somewhat flat hiking surface.
