View Full Version : GA: Is the Water Still Flowing?
Its been remarkably dry here in Atlanta the last 2 weeks. Are the springs along the AT in GA tapering off yet? Trying to decide if I need to pack an extra water bladder. I'll be attempting to make it to Justus creek from Springer on Day 1 of a section. I know there's not much water after Hawk Mtn until Justus Creek.
I guess I'm not alone in the weight vs dehydration mental exercise.
Water is fine. Even though it has been some what dry the past couple of weeks we have had over 16" of rain this year at Grassy Gap.

There is no water between Hawk Mtn Shelter and Justus Creek regardless of conditions.
I'll definitely top off my tanks at Hawk Mtn Shelter then. Thanks.
There is water at Horse Gap. It is not marked and takes some looking for. Trail west -go down the dirt road and look for a spring a=ways down. Good emergency knowledge!
