The Cohutta Wilderness

We love this place and I want to take my childern and grandchildren there so please please pratice Leave No Trace Principals! (see links if you don't know what they are)

This land was intensivly logged until the 1920's (70% or so). The area has recovered remakably well. Now all that remains are, old road beds, cables, and the ocassional railroad ties.

It became a wilderness area in 1975 @ 36,977 acres it is the largest NFW in the southeast. (The Cohutta Wilderness ajoins the Big Frog Wilderness (8,055 acres) across the state line in TN.


The Cohutta Wilderness in GA is part of the larger 95,265 acre CWMA.

Highest Points: Big Frog Mountian 4,224(TN) East Cowpen (4,200 ish)
Major Rivers: The Conasauga River, and Jacks River. These 2 give you good reason to always carry sandals when in the Cohuttas.

The Benton MacKaye Trail is in and the Pinhoti Trail Borders the Wilderness

My Review of OMEGA Anti-Microbial Reservoir

Originally submitted at Rock Creek Outfitters

The advanced design of CamelBak's OMEGA Reservoir makes accessing and cleaning your reservoir easier than ever.  An "easy-grip" ergonomic handle allows you to fill to the brim. Simply screw down the secure cap and you're "ready to roll."

Bought this to upgrade from my older Camelback. It is tasteless and easy to clean. I found the top a little hard to open sometimes. But aside from that no wet back!
