Grassy Mountain
Grassy Mountain, MT
The tower at the top of Grassy Mountain is usually unlocked up to the first landing that affords a nice view of the Cohutta Wilderness and Tennessee. The Grassy Mountain trail Stretches from the dam on Lake Conasauga to the old fire tower atop Grassy Mountain. This trail makes an easy ascent. This land was originally part of the Cherokee National Forest. When the U.S. government formed the Georgia National Forest they combined purchases made throughout the North Georgia Mountains with portions of the Cherokee. Renamed in 1937 to Chattahoochee National Forest the area is the largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi.
Grassy Mountain is one of the tallest mountains in the Cohutta Wilderness Area. The site where pictograps have been found is in a camping area not far from the summit. This area can be reached by Hiking the Grassy Mountain trail. Shortly after the start of this trail it joins the Songbird Trail. From this junction the trail turns right. Past a beaver dam on the left the trail continues on an uphill path to the top of Grassy Mountain. For a short time it runs next to a Forest Service Road but then returns to the woods. Here you will find several boulders which have evidence of ancient pictographs etched or chisled on them. Some bear a sriking resemblance to Celtic markings that have been found as far north as Maine. You are encouraged to take rubbings of these rocks, since with the advent of the hundreds of thousands of hunters, hickers and tourists, they are rapidly disappearing.
While you are visiting Grassy Mountain, it is suggested that you visit the rest of the Cohutta Wilderness area. Almost 70 square miles of this North Georgia wilderness is surrounded by a drive many refer to as the Cohutta Loop. For the outdoor enthusiast, this is heaven. The drive provides access to the largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi, abounds with walking Trails and wildlife, and features occasional campgrounds as it follows the perimeter of the wilderness.
