Ellicott Rock Wilderness

While on a hiking trip along the Chatooga Trail, I saw a fisherman working a "Nice little hole". I watched him move up and down the pool that was filled with trout. The Chatooga Trail follows the Chatooga River for more than 30 beautiful miles. Designated a "Wild and Scenic River" in 1985, the river is protected from the head-waters to Lake Tugaloo. Swimming in the wonderfully clean water after a hike is a simple pleasure every hiker should experience. More Information about the Ellicott Rock area>>
