Songbird Hiking Trail - Ellijay GA

A great family hike, this trail follows the Little Conasauga River in, then meanders through woods and rhododendron on the return trip. The trail markings have been completely upgraded and except for a single turn near the end, the Songbird Trail is well-marked. The trip down follows a river with four beaver dams that create what Georgia settlers called "beaver ruins," ponds with dead or dying trees. Specially constructed docks to permit visitors an up close look at the gentrification process of the lakes formed by the dams.
