The Pine Mountain Trail winds and climbs its way to awesome summit views, along massive granite outcrops and serene forest. Hike over wooden bridges, across sparkling streams & rock outcroppings, varied forest, scenic overlooks. This local gem is tucked away near Cartersville (under 40 miles from Atlanta). The East Loop Trailhead connects the city to Lake Allatoona’s shoreline and reaches 1,562 feet above sea level. The rugged trail development crosses Pine Mountain and Hurricane Hollow, so named by early miners. The land is part of the 13,000 acres that were originally the site of Mark Cooper’s Iron Empire. The West Loop connector was completed in Spring 2009 that ties the Pine Mountain Trails to Cooper’s Furnace Nature Trail at the Etowah River. This is a easy to moderate hike with some elevation climbs with switchbacks up the ridge. Enjoy views of Allatoona Lake from the summit of Pine Mountain
