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.

This is an excellent little press. It is typicial of Snow Peak. Light weight, and no frills. It just does the job and it does it very very well. It has the usual titanium fold out handles and mesh stuff sack. It is easy to clean. I do not suggest using it directly on top of your stove as it is narrow and not very stable on the stove top. Outside of that you can't beat it for a great cup of joe to get you going in the morning. FYI about 4 heaping TBS of coffee should get the job done, and let it steep for around 4 to 6 minutes.
