Beautiful hiking trails and excellent biking trails as well. With connections to the Pinhoti trail, Bear Creek is a gateway to the whole Cohutta Wilderness.

This is the trail to 'The Big Poplar'. This is the Gennett Poplar, which is the second largest tree in Georgia. This short hike only climbs 200 feet over less than a mile. The only difficulty is a couple creek crossings, but you can rock hop your way across most of the time. Easy trail, even for young children.

Hike the Bear Creek Trail through a beautiful, mossy, fern-filled creek valley to the Gennett Poplar, the second largest living tree in Georgia. The Bear Creek Trail is popular with hikers and mountain bikers. Please remember to stay to your right, don’t block the trail, keep your dog on a short leash, and let bikes pass safely.

The Bear Creek Trail - One of the most popular trails of North Georgia for mountain biking and hiking is Bear Creek Trail. The forested area is covered by towering old-growth trees that provide comfortable shade down the path, big boulders, densely packed vegetation along the creek valley, and the famous Gennett Poplar - the second-largest living tree in Georgia. The creek trickles through the green forests lying west of Ellijay and forms one of the most beautiful valleys in the state. The landscape is decorated with an abundance of wildflowers, soft green moss, and Georgia’s natural beauty making Bear Creek Trail both a local and tourist favorite.Great for Mountain Biking. This is worth the climb up and ride down either way amazing just watch out for several downed trees.
