From the parking area of Brasstown Bald Visitor Center, the trail head is south of this and then moves to cross GA 180 at Jacks Gap. From here, the trail continues to the Chattahoochee Gap where it intersects with the Appalachian Trail. The footpath continues to an old logging road that was improved by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1930. At Brasstown Bald’s parking lot, the pathway follows the Union/ Towns county line.

At this point, the path leads south to Jacks Gap where it follows Wolfpen Ridge. The trail then makes an ascent on the first half mile where it then makes a steep descent further into Jacks Gap. The pathway continues on this high ridge trail as it passes through a pine forest. The trail then makes a crossing at Highway 180 and a spur road. After this, pace forward to a gradual descent and then to a series of uphill and downhill trek.

From here on the Jacks Gap, the path continues to lead to Henry Knob and then move towards an ascent to Brookshire Top. The Brookshire Top is the start of the Hiawassee Ridge where a brief dip on it continues to an uphill climb. Passing Eagle Knob, the trail then moves further to an ascent to Jacks Knob.

This trail is nevertheless a short and easy hike to the Appalachian Trail where the patch intersects the Chattahoochee Gap. After the crossing Highway 180, you will find some wonderful wildlife species such as hawks, crows, squirrels, bobcats, foxes, deer, bears, and ravens. The Chattahoochee Gap is about 200 feet above the Chattahoochee River’s spring source. You may even opt to trek the lower portion of the mountain where the spring is nestled and just look for the mark for "drinking water".

If you move further on this trail, continuously follow the path that leads to Red Clay Gap and another 2.3 miles to Enota Resort. The Enota Resort is still on the Appalachian Trail that follows the tread way to the Red Clay Gap which offers outdoor activities such as hiking and camping. Just move further about 1.3 miles onto the underdeveloped trail which some refer to as the Joey Creek Trail that then leads to Enota North Georgia Retreat Center.

Campground activities such as full hook-ups RV camping and tent camping are enjoyed in this mountain retreat where the peaceful atmosphere keeps you focused on the natural beauty of the surrounding.
