Dahlonega Trail Fest

The 4th Annual Dahlonega Trail Fest will be held on March 14-16, 2014 to celebrate Dahlonega's designation as an AT Trail Community by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Come celebrate "Spring on Springer" in Dahlonega, the southern gateway to the Appalachian Trail.

The Trail Fest will include camping for hikers, speakers, films, music, shuttles to Springer Mountain and Amicalola Falls, equipment vendors, and workshops on such topics as safety, camping techniques, and equipment. Fun trail related activities such as a 5k trail run, canoeing/kayaking, guided hikes, and local tours will be held as well as kid friendly outdoor activities.

There is no charge for Trail Fest activities, it is all FREE! All activities will take place in the Hancock Park area and on the historic Dahlonega Square. While here, visit our Grub Tent and Beer and Wine Tent.

The Trail Fest will be a fun filled weekend celebrating Dahlonega’s Trail Community designation, the importance of the Appalachian Trail to Dahlonega and Lumpkin County, and the significance of Dahlonega to the many users of the AT.
