Michelle,

Thanks for your comments. Glad to here you are utilizing these trails. The white trail gets nice and quiet as you get back there a ways doesn’t it. Now is a great time of year for it too. Not as overgrown in certain areas as it doesn’t get a lot of use. I am often the only one back there.

I’m with you. Plenty of places to put up houses and its nice as is for however long it lasts.

Thanks again for contributing your input.

I love this trail and am leading hikes with my social group there. I also was confused about the trails near the church, but after talking to the scoutmaster, I found it and we walked to the temporary end. I am excited about the white trail extension as well. This is one of the bright spots of this recession as otherwise, most of this would now be a huge housing development!

Thanks for posting the links to the maps of the Etowah Trails. I’ve been on most of them and am eager for the white trail to the national cemetery to be completed.

Talked to the Scoutmaster of the Boy Scout troop that manages these trails. They’ve done a lot of work on them lately, and they hope to do more. The good news is there is a map! On-line! It is located at: http://s1.webstarts.com/EtowahTrail/trail_map.html

And maybe the better news is these trails are not a high-traffic area, as they have so little advertisement.
