Sumac Creek Trail

Description for Sumac Creek Trail

The view along the ridgelines are great. There are some pretty spots down along Sumac Creek that just beg for a good camera and a few minutes of exploration. The creek crossings are deep and refreshing. If you like switchbacks, you'll love this trail. If you don't like switchbacks, at least you'll be better at riding them after you finish this trail. The climbs are typical Cohutta--short but steep, and you have to earn the three overlooks. The fall color is awesome throughout the trail. There is a sweet singletrack downhill halfway through the ride that makes the ensuing climb out almost worth it. This trail sees a decent amount of horse traffic, so be on the lookout and yield the trail.
