Itinerary:

We will begin our walk at the end of the Pine Mountain Trail, next to the TV tower. After a few hundred feet we will start to follow the Beaver Pond trail. After about half a mile we will encounter a side trail that rejoins the Beaver point trail after about 2.5 miles. Thet trail crosses GA 190 about 2.5 miles from our starting point. After a further 0.9 miles we will rejoin the PMT and cross GA 190 again. The trail now meanders over a varied forest landscape, with a few easy climbs. After a few miles we will start walking upstream along a creek. We will cross this creek and one of its tributaries a total of 12 times, but most of the crossings have bridges and the rest have conveniently located rocks. A couple of miles before we get back to our cars there is a shallow pool fed by a small waterfall.
