Rich Mountain Wildlife Management Area is a peaceful, forested stretch of the Benton MacKaye Trail, with good chances to spot deer and wild turkeys along the way. Dispersed camping is permitted throughout this section.

The Gennett Poplar is estimated to be over 300 years old and stands over 100 feet tall.

Barnes Creek is one of many river crossings in the area. It can be done as a rock hop most of the time, but after storms, you may get your feet wet.

Amicalola Mountain is the first summit on the AT Approach Trail. The ridge rises from near Dawsonville on its southwest flank to Nimblewill Gap not far from Springer Mountain at its northeast point. Its highest section is known as Frosty Mountain and was once the site of a Forest Service fire tower which has been disassembled and removed. All that remains of that tower are concrete footings partially hidden by vigorous undergrowth in the old clearing where it once stood. Best known as the ridge line that serves as the source of the stream that produces Amicalola Falls, it rises abruptly from a valley floor at roughly 1500 feet above sea level, offering an impressive forested face. The south facing slopes of Amicalola Mountain are extremely steep; deceptively so as they are covered in a fantastic array of hardwoods that hide what would appear as cliffs in a less temperate zone.

The A.T. Approach Trail does not lead directly over the mountain, but along its western slope. There is a water source at the point marked here.

Springer Mountain is essentially a small rocky plateau with a few views, known for being the southern end of the Appalachian Trail. The trail from Amicalola Falls State Park is beautiful. Camping is not permitted on the summit plateau, but the Springer Mountain Shelter is just 600 feet to the north.

The Flat Creek Loop is a popular hiking and mountain biking trail loop in Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. It meanders around the forest below Stanley Gap and the peak of Rocky Mountain. This is a great singletrack trail to ride when you really just want to get lost in nature.

This is the southern end of the famed 2,135 mile Appalachian Trail, also called "The Green Tunnel". You will find a metal plaque indicating the southern terminus. You can get here by taking the 8.5 mile approach trail from Amicalola State Park.
