Witch’s Peak

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free and drive-in accessible, Witch's Peak sits outside Athens as a dispersed site with drinking water, toilets, picnic tables, and trash service on-site. The trail in is steep. Vehicles are limited to 10 feet, so larger rigs won't fit the access road. Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted, and cell service is available. The short hike leads to rock outcroppings, boulder routes, and a rock shelter at the trail's end, making this a reasonable option for hikers and scramblers who don't mind earning the elevation.

Sweet spot

The trail in is super steep. The climb is totally worth it though. Some amazing rock out croppings and views up there! There are several boulder routes as well. At the end of the short trail is a cool rock shelter! A very neat local treasure.
