Great Eastern Trail

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the Great Eastern Trail! This new long distance trail system will stretch from the Alabama/Florida border north to Central New York, and along the way it'll pass through downtown Chattanooga.
This trail has been on the drawing board for years, but in the last 6 months the trail leaders who are making this trail possible have named the trail, and decided to make it public.
To learn more about the Great Eastern Trail, please read this article from the spring '06 edition of American Hiker.
If you'd like to support the development of this great trail, you can join American Hiking Society, or signup for a Volunteer Vacation along either the Cumberland Trail or the Pine Mountain Trail.
