The Chattanooga River Trail
There are more than 50 miles of trail on or near the Chattanooga River. The river is the border between Georgia and South Carolina and one of the pictures below shows Ellicott Rock and Commissioner's Rock, which is the survey point of the border of NC/SC/GA. If you follow the trail to this point, you will be standing on the common point of the three states.
The Chattanooga River Trail is a great place to hike along a beautiful river. Ellicott's Rock is the disputed survey point chiseled into a rock on the riverside by Andrew Ellicott in 1811. It reads simply-- N C. This rock is slightly difficult to reach and it is very close to the water and sometimes is under water. Be very careful here because many have fallen into the river while looking for the rock. Commissioner's Rock, the inscription reads LAT 35, AD 1813, NC/SC. Ellicott's mark was disputed by the commission which hired him and the dispute was so intense that the commission refused to pay Ellicot for his work on this survey.
Spoon Auger Falls is a nice falls about 200 yards off of the trail near Burrell's Ford.
The West Fork of the Chattooga River combines with the main river.
Enter the date on the trail rock at the posted coordinates as the code phrase.
Example: 10/11/12
