Highlights:
This short hike starts at a primitive campsite on Nimblewill Creek in the Chattahoochee National Forest. We hiked about half the route on the gravel Nimblewill Gap Road then the rest up USFS 28D and back. Be careful on Nimblewill Gap Road because there are vehicles that occasionally wander along the dirt road. There is nearly no traffic on USFS 28D, however, so there is more solitude on this forest road.
