Double Bridges Trail is a short, easy loop in the Oconee Ranger District of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests in Georgia, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about 0.37 miles long and sits at a low point of 347 feet, with the high point at 374 feet. The climb is flat, and the route gains no elevation, so it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading to other spots in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Monticello show October highs around 78°F with lows near 48°F, and April is similar at about 77°F by day and 45°F at night. Summer runs hot, with July highs averaging around 92°F. Several other outings lie within a few miles. Hitchiti Loop Trail is about 1.4 miles away, and the Hitchiti Boulders climbing area is about 2.1 miles off. The Hitchiti Trail and Little Rock Nature Trail are also close by.
