Trails & Parks
Big Canoe retains the qualities of a hometown set in an area recognized by Georgia Audubon as a nature preserve. Our parks and 25 miles of hiking trails are central to community life.
Trails & Hiking
OUR MOST POPULAR AMENITY
The hiking trails offer the best way to connect with the natural beauty of Big Canoe. The 25-mile network of trails, maintained by the Big Canoe Trails Committee, each have their own unique appeal and standout features. Ranging from broad, paved trails to forest footpaths, the trails meander among trees, streams, fern groves, meadows and the green spaces of Big Canoe. There is even a Jeep Trail to enjoy in a 4x4 vehicle.
