Happy Trails
Exploring the Appalachian Mountain Foothills on Horseback
Can't get enough of soft muzzles, flowing manes, quiet knickers, and the thrill of riding new trails on horseback?
This is your opportunity to surround yourself with everything horses. Explore the Chattahoochee National Forest in northwest
Georgia from your saddle.
Picture It
Gather with other girls (28 total) who are passionate about horses at Camp Misty Mountain to explore on horseback the foothills
of the Appalachian Mountains. With more than 800 acres of field and forest, the property is a secluded yet accessible
Girl Scout mountain getaway, approximately 85 miles north of Atlanta and 40 miles south of Chattanooga.
Start your equestrian adventure by planning and preparing for an overnight trail ride to the Misty Mountain Outpost. Look
forward to caring for your horse in an open meadow, setting up camp, and cooking meals over a campfire. Venture away from
camp on an all-day trail ride on the Pinhoti Trail in the Chattahoochee National Forest. In addition to trail riding, participate
in riding lessons in the arena and workshops presented by professionals from the equestrian field.
Every horse lover needs time away from the barn. Plan on a day trip to Atlanta to discover the sites and sounds of our
Southern city. Participants will also have time to swim, climb the challenge tower, and enjoy other outdoor activities at
Misty Mountain.
