In-Depth Information
Come to another deck with informational signs and benches.
Head down a flight of stairs to the south. You will leave the
crushed gravel path at the bottom as the trail becomes a dirt
footpath. It's very green and lush through here in late spring
and early summer. In less than 0.1 mile come to another T in-
tersection. Turn left (south). In 100 feet cross another seasonal
stream over a footbridge.
0.3
Come to a Y. A boat launch is to the left (east). Take the right
fork to the south (a sign here points the way to the waterfront).
0.4
Head down a series of railroad tie stairs and cross a boggy
area (could be fairly deep after a good rain). Continue straight
to the southwest. In 100 feet arrive at your first look at the Tal-
lapoosa River. When ready, turn around and head back to mile
0.4.
0.5
Arrive back at the Y at mile 0.4. Take the left fork.
0.6
Take a series of wooden stairs up to a large deck.
0.7
Arrive at the top of the stairs, with a large deck with signage de-
scribing the William Bartram Arboretum. Turn left (north) onto a
short crushed gravel path. In 175 feet the trail ends at a gravel
area with benches. You will see the fort to the right (northwest).
Head west until you come to a dirt road. In 100 feet turn left
(southwest) onto the dirt road and follow it around to the north.
There are excellent views of the fort and the diamond shape of
the structure along the route to your right. Beautiful Spanish
moss-laden trees line the route on your left.
0.8
The road bends to the left (west). A large sign points the direc-
tion to the Indian mounds. Follow the dirt road to the west.
