4 /5 FinnMedia Productions: Good area for a quick hike and the Amicalola is beautiful scenery. The trail loops around and is moderately easy. About 3.5 total miles. The area that was cut many years ago is growing back. The river provides plenty of opportunity for swimming, tubing, kayaking, fishing. The summer weekends can get really crowded and also the fall around the fall foliage time. Winter and spring are not as busy. Also, the late fall and winter months are better hiking because the brush on the side of the trails is not hanging over across the trail. The pine trees are growing back creating more cover which should eventually help the weed growth.
