Just south of Blairsville right outside the Coopers Creek Wildlife Management Area can be found Forest Service Road 287. Following along the ridge of Bowers Mountain this short trail is often overlooked because of the remote location of the trailhead. Surrounded by sights and sounds of nature the entire way this easy trail is a great addition to any day out exploring the mountain forests.

Dave is more of an explorer than a wheeler who loves to find remote locations to hike and kayak fish. Born and raised in Chicago for 21 years before moving to Atlanta, backroads and forests and mountains were a whole new experience and now he just can't get enough. When he's not fishing for stripers on Lake Lanier, you can find him in the mountains of North Georgia, Tennessee or South Carolina exploring and mapping backroads. Just look for the guy with the kayak on the top of the truck!
