Chattooga River north of US 76 (Bull Sluice)
May 20, 2025
5 Hikers set out to see the sights of Bull Sluice on the mighty Chattooga River. All was going well until we trekked down to the river. What we found was no path, a lot of brush and many fallen trees. We were forced to navigate a steep incline and forge our way back to find a path that would take us back. Thankfully we were able to find our way back with the use of Gaia and AllTrails. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS HIKE AGAIN!!!!
