Jedi Trail is a short, easy out-and-back hike on the Lula Lake Land Trust Site in Georgia, managed by a non-governmental organization. The trail is about 1.9 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 230 feet, and it starts and ends at roughly 1,480 feet. The high point is about 1,607 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.68 miles in, with a grade of about 7 percent. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 67°F with lows near 51°F, and April highs around 68°F. That station sits about 500 feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run a little warmer. The hike takes about half an hour. Bluff Trail and Old Falls Trail both start within a quarter mile, and Chattanooga Creek, a paddling route, is about 1.8 miles away. Rock City, a climbing area, is about 3.2 miles off.
