 Appalachian Trail Community It's official! Dahlonega is now an Appalachian Trail CommunityDahlonega has received the designation of Appalachian Trail Community by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. The Trail Fest will be a fun filled weekend celebrating Dahlonega's Trail Community designation, the importance of the Appalachian Trail to Dahlonega and Lumpkin County, and the significance of Dahlonega to the many users of the AT. Designation as an Appalachian Trail Community™ and participation in the program is designed to: - thank communities for their decades of service to hikers,
- to act as a catalyst for enhancing sustainable economic development,
- engage community citizens as Trail visitors and stewards,
- aid local municipalities and regional areas with conservation planning and
- help local community members see the Trail as a resource and asset.
The program also serves to highlight and recognize those communities who are taking steps to ensure the ongoing protection of their natural, cultural and recreational resources, including the A.T. Preserving and enhancing a charming, memorable community destination will contribute to the long-term economic health of A.T. towns and make an A.T. hike even more desirable.
Southern Appalachians The Trail runs between northeastern Tennessee and the southern terminus at Springer Mountain in Georgia. It penetrates several of the vast national forests of the South, and crosses the Trail's highest mountain, Clingman's Dome, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Though mostly well-graded, the Trail through this section is remote, with long, strenuous climbs. The high ridges along the North Carolina-Tennessee border are prone to winter weather similar to parts of New England. source |
