Currahee Mountain Trail — Attraction in Georgia

Currahee is a Native American word meaning "Stands Alone" and it did just that until the US Army made use of it for training purposes for its paratroopers. Instead of a trail, this mountain features a gravel dirt road leading to a power station at the top. There is a rock ledge with a pretty good view, making it worth your while. Like myself, many folks come here to take on the challenge of walking up while others prefer letting their vehicles do all that work instead.

For those choosing to hike, the first half or two thirds is moderately easy. The total length of the road is just under a mile but that last stretch is a real killer! I'm quite proud of the many locals who bring their dogs and make it look so easy. The dogs definitely deserve an award! Bring a water bottle or two...you're really going to want it upon...

Hiked 3 miles up 3 miles down with my dog. Very worth the view up at the top! Friendly people. Only down side is that this trail is pretty historical so there is a lot of car traffic so if you decide to hike …you may not feel as out in nature but overall it is truly remarkable! I feel empowered just to be on the grounds where col.sink trained his men.

If you are a fan of band of brothers or saving private Ryan etc … definitely worth...

This is a small unofficial parking lot, takes about 5 cars. Nicely shaded and hidden from the road. Lock your car and follow the gravel path up toward Currahee Mountain. This is quite a challenging trail, some sections are pretty steep. Your reward will be the breathtaking views! The trail leads to the top of the mountain where the communication towers are located. A point of interest for all...
