Woodruff Scout Reservation

Woodruff Scout Reservation is an Atlanta Area Council camp located near Blairsville, Georgia. It is named for Robert W. Woodruff who was born in 1889 in Georgia and was one of a group of businessmen who bought The Coca-Cola Company in 1919. Woodruff Scout Camp was built with donations from the Woodruff Foundation and The Coca-Cola Company and now hosts over 300 Scout units and over 6000 people each summer on 1600 acres on land in the North Georgia Mountains.

This hike on the Meadow Trail at Woodruff is a 3.4 mile trail that starts at the lake shore between the amphitheater and the dam. Do not follow the bike trail uphill when it turns off, instead walk along the shore to the next double-track loop road coming in from the left. There are numerous turns on the trail, so pay extra attention at every junction.
