Indian Seats

Indian Seats is a short, easy hike in Sawnee Mountain Preserve on county land in Georgia, about 0.09 miles long with a total climb of 27 feet. The route starts at an elevation of about 1,673 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,694 feet, so it's a gentle walk with almost no change in elevation. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cumming show October highs around 73°F with lows near 49°F, and April highs around 72°F. That station sits about 550 feet lower than the hike, so temperatures on the preserve run a little cooler. Indian Seats Trail lies about 0.4 miles away, and Hilltop Trail and Ridgeline Trail are both within about a mile and a half. For an overnight stay, Bald Ridge Creek campground is about 3.9 miles off.
