Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Georgia beckons hikers with nearly 1,000 miles of trails that tunnel through flowering rhododendron thickets, follow streams of the northern mountains, crisscross historic paths in rolling foothills, and wind among towering pines of the coastal plain. Hiking Georgia, Second Edition, the only guide to the entire state, covers well-known areas but also introduces hikers to some relatively undiscovered places. Author Donald W. Pfitzer, naturalist and former assistant regional director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Region, describes more than 100 trails that vary in length and difficulty. Choose from an easy one-hour stroll along a quiet nature trail, a trek along 80 miles of the Appalachian Trail, or a medium distance that suits you. Recently revised and expanded, this guide contains accurate information, detailed maps, and photos that depict the landscape of the Peach State’s backcountry: the come-hither curve of an insectivorous swamp plant, rivers and waterfalls, and historic battlefields. It also includes tips on hiking with children and backcountry safety and ethics.

From the Back Cover
Whether you're looking for a long backpacking adventure in the Blue Ridge Mountains or an easy family hike within minutes of downtown Atlanta, this book is an essential source to Georgia's beautiful parklands and backcountry. Learn more about the Peach State's backcountry like an insectivorous swamp plant, rivers and waterfalls, and its historic battlefields. Choose from an easy one-hour stroll along a quiet nature trail, a trek along 80 miles of the Applachian Trail, or a medium distance that suits you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reading!, January 11, 1998
The trail reviews are pretty comprehensive and informative, and quite interesting. Trails are rated for difficulty on a simple easy-moderate-strenuous scale, and the reviews are obviously written from a first-hand observer's view. I heartily recommend it to a casual hiker like myself, and it seems that there is useful information for experienced hikers as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource, but take a map, May 10, 2004
By A Customer
This book has a comprehensive list of hiking trails in Georgia, and has good descriptions. My only caution would be to reference a map when driving to the trailhead. I followed the directions in the book on a recent hike and got lost, later to find the directions included at least one typo and were either out of date (Highway numbers changed) or just wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars newer edition now available, September 11, 2006
By B. Hardee (Tuscaloosa, AL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is a 2006 3rd edition available from Amazon which does not get linked here for some reason. I am buying that to replace the first edition which we have used for many years. Hikes are sorted by area, well described and rated for difficulty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still good
This is only a bit dated. The book has great information, and any update information can easily be found. Great buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible
This book is awful. While the author describes every irrelevant detail of the trail, he consistently gives bad directions on how to get to the trailhead! Read more
