Once again, hunting season is upon us. The area of the Trace owned by the Corps of Engineers is open for hunting through the end of deer season, in early January. Trails traversing Corps-owned property (all areas in yellow on Trail System map) are closed to other users until 10:00 am each morning. AS ALWAYS, wear bright colors when enjoying the Wilderness. Be safe!
The Sutallee Trace
​
The Sutallee Trace Pocket Wilderness is a woodland oasis situated in the quickly-expanding suburbs of northern Cherokee County, in the state of Georgia. With a rich diversity of flora and fauna, a wide variety of woodland habitats, and a fascinating history of human habitation, the Trace offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the cultural history and natural beauty of north Georgia.
​
​
The Etowah Hiking Trails traverse the wilderness, giving trail enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the diverse beauty of North Georgia within a short distance of urban settings. The trail system, maintained by volunteers from the Sutallee Trace Trail Stewards, provides over fifteen miles of marked and unmarked footpaths on which to relax and unwind.
