List of in-state Backpacking Areas.

RE Pinhoti - just me being finicky...  its a National Recreation Trail, not a Scenic trail...

RE OMSP - WARNING!  You may not want to use their backcountry site that is located near the crest of Double Oak Mtn!  That is unless you like being startled awake multiple times during the night by the long echoing blasts of train horns!  The tracks that this emanates from is all the way down by the Tank Farm exit (246?) the sound carries across the flat lands and on up the mountain side! 

The train tracks are just one hill over along Hwy 11.  They run parallel to the park for a good while.

Yup. You can see them from at least one place in the park.

Heh, that reminds me of one of my favorite camping areas in Georgia - Cochrans Mill. You could almost convince yourself that you are way out in the mountains if it were not for the fact that your only a few miles from the Atlanta airport and right under an approach path. At night the sky looks like a scene out of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Oak Mtn is a pretty good spot. I have hiked all of their trails there and if you link the various trails together you can get a good over nighter out of it. I have done several overnight trips with my longest one being around 18-19 miles. I am taking my boys to Sipsey next week for a over night trip.
