Mountain Creek Nature Trail Connector Trail

Mountain Creek Nature Trail Connector Trail is a short, steady out-and-back hike in F. D. Roosevelt State Park in Georgia, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is about 0.9 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 112 feet, and it connects the Mountain Creek Nature Trail and the Delano Trail, both of which sit about 0.3 miles away. The route is a low-effort walk, with a gentle climb to a high point of 980 feet and a similar descent back down. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.39 miles in, with a grade of about 5 percent. The whole trip takes roughly half an hour. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grange show October highs around 76°F with lows near 52°F, and April is similar at about 76°F by day and 49°F at night. That station sits about 250 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Other trails close by include the Chestnut Oak Trail, about 1.1 miles away, and the Pine Moutain Trail, about 1.6 miles away. Paddlers can find Sulphur Creek about 7 miles off.
