Description

Conasauga Snorkel and Cohutta Adventure at Mulberry Gap Inn

Hosted by Eric Edwards, Wesley Holmes and Matt Elder
Live music: The Johnson Party

On the weekend of June 5, the Georgia Conservancy, with the help and guidance of the Cherokee National Forest U.S. Forest Service and the fine folks at the Mulberry Gap Inn, will host its annual Conasauga River Snorkeling Trip and Cohutta Wilderness Adventure at the Mulberry Gap Inn. 

The headwaters of the Conasauga and Jack’s rivers originate within the Cohutta Wilderness, a federally-protected wilderness area located in the mountains of north Georgia and southeast Tennessee. As a result, our snorkeling destination, located at the edge of the expansive Cohuttas, provides visitors with the chance to experience one of the most biologically diverse sections of river in North America. The two remote mountain rivers offer wildlife miles of unspoiled sanctuary and are home to over 70 species of fish - twice as many than are found in the entire western United States. Some of these species are found nowhere else on Earth.

Though not attire usually associated with the mountains, participants don wetsuits, a mask and snorkel to catch a glimpse of these colorful, native fish, both large and small.

This is one of the most popular and awe-inspiring trips that the Conservancy hosts each year and has introduced hundreds of curious members, friends and volunteers to the wonders of the river.

Overnight guests will stay at the fantastic Mulberry Gap Mountain Bike Getaway and enjoy “self-guided” hikes on the Conasauga River Trail as well as have access to their famous mountain bike trails that allow you to glide through the forest by day then come enjoy the camaraderie around the campfire at night! Our special musical guests for the weekend, The Johnson Party, will be playing live music on Saturday night in the barn at Mulberry Gap Inn! We have reserved the entire Mulberry Gap Inn for the Georgia Conservancy for the entire weekend. or the full weekend trip at Mulberry Gap Inn June 5-7.
