Geocache Description:


Dogs Allowed Restricted hours Fee area
The Chieftains Trail was designated by the 1988 Georgia General Assembly a state historic trail for the purpose of preservation, promotion and commemoration of Northwest Georgia's Native American heritage. The Chieftains Trail guides travelers to nine public sites representative of the Indian cultures which once thrived here in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. These sites showcase the pre-historic, Cherokee and Creek cultures. Four cities, Dalton, Ellijay, Marietta and Rome are designated Gateway Cities where travelers are welcomed from the north, east, south and west respectively.

Fort Mountain State Park, Chatsworth, derives its name from an ancient rock wall measuring 855 feet in length that stands on the highest point of the mountain. The ancient wall is thought to have been built by Indians as a ceremonial center over a thousand years ago. Located in the Chattahoochee National Forest close to the Cohutta Wilderness area, the park offers picnicking, camping, cottages, swimming, hiking, and splendid views of the mountains for visitors traveling the Chieftains Trail.
