Pine Log Creek Trail in Bartow County – Meet at the trail head – 4053 Georgia Hwy 140, Rydal, GA 

Bring plenty of water and a light snack. Wear trail friendly closed toed shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. 

Distance is 4.6 miles and is an easier hike when taken in a counterclockwise direction. (expect hike to last 2 ½ to 4 hours depending on # of stops and how long stops last). This trail is a double loop and the west loop is used to gain access to the east loop. Trail is rated easy/moderate due to rocky terrain and inclines.
