Union County Georgia Hiking Trails
Slaughter Creek Trail
|
| Beginning near the
Lake Winfield Scott Campground, the 2.7 mile Slaughter Creek Trail
climbs gradually to the Appalachian Trail, south of Blood Mountain.
Rated moderate, Slaughter Creek Trail enters the Blood Mountain
Wilderness where the blue blazes become infrequent.
To reach Slaughter Creek Trail from
Blairsville Georgia, travel south along US 19/129 for 9.5 miles
and turn right (west) onto GA 180. Continue along GA 180 for 7 miles
to the main entrance to Lake Winfield Scott Campground. |

Turn left into the campground and follow this road over a hill. Continue
straight ahead into a gravel parking lot at the foot of the hill. From
the parking lot, hike along the paved road passing the guard rail at the
head of the lake. The trail is located along the right side of the road,
just past the guard rails.
