Beautiful hiking trails and excellent biking trails as well. With connections to the Pinhoti trail, Bear Creek is a gateway to the whole Cohutta Wilderness.

This is the trail to 'The Big Poplar'. This is the Gennett Poplar, which is the second largest tree in Georgia. This short hike only climbs 200 feet over less than a mile. The only difficulty is a couple creek crossings, but you can rock hop your way across most of the time. Easy trail, even for young children.

Hike the Bear Creek Trail through a beautiful, mossy, fern-filled creek valley to the Gennett Poplar, the second largest living tree in Georgia. The Bear Creek Trail is popular with hikers and mountain bikers. Please remember to stay to your right, don’t block the trail, keep your dog on a short leash, and let bikes pass safely.

This loop trail follows Bear Creek from a point off Forest Service Road 241, and features the second largest tree in North Georgia- The Gennett Poplar
