Beyond the five trips described in this chapter in this wilderness area, you might consider consulting a map of the area and checking out several others: The 1.8-mile, moderate Chestnut Lead Trail descends to Conasauga River and intersects with the Conasauga River Trail. The 13.1-mile, moderate Conasauga River Trail begins at the southeastern edge of the Cohutta Wilderness at Betty Gap and follows the attractive Conasauga River to a parking area off of Forest Service Road 17-B in the northwest section of the wilderness. Easy-to-moderate Hickory Creek Trail, 8.6 miles, runs south from the western side of the wilderness near Forest Service Road 51 to cross the Conasauga River and end at its intersection with the Conasauga River Trail. The 3.4-mile, strenuous but popular Panther Creek Trail runs between the Conasauga River Trail and the East Cowpen Trail, passing the lengthy cascades of Panther Creek Falls. The 3.9-mile moderate Rice Camp Trail begins at the western side of the wilderness at Forest Service Road 51 and crosses several streams before rising to cross a ridge and drop to end at its intersection with the Jacks River Trail. The 3.4-mile Tearbritches Trail begins at the southwestern edge of the wilderness at Forest Service Road 68 with a strenuous climb over Bald Mountain, but becomes easier as it descends to its junction with the Conasauga River Trail.
