A Southeast Region Appalachian Trail Connector
Pinhoti Trail History
I'm the new guy on the block (2000). Although my experiences on the
Pinhoti began in the late 1970's, it wasn't until the beginning of this
century that I began seeing it as more than a recreational opportunity.
At one point in the trail's history, it began at Clairmont Gap and traveled northeast up to
Coleman Lake for a total of 66.5 miles. The map on the right shows the trail as a dotted
line from Clairmont Gap to Coleman Lake. Click on the map over on the right for a larger
view. You can also click on that view for a larger view. Up until a year ago this map was on
the USFS web site and I added all of the newer trailheads.
Obviously, I know very little about the Pinhoti's history. So, for the time being this page
will just be a depository for any little bits and pieces that I come across.

1973 ~ The Beginning of the Pinhoti Trail
The Pinhoti Trail was initially begun in the early 1970's by the US Forest Service. The
trail was the brainchild of Forest Service employees Jim Bylsma and Bobby Bledsoe.
Construction of the first portion of the trail begins in the Shoal Creek / Coleman Lake
area north of US 78 and I-20.
Construction of the second portion of the trail begins from Cheaha State Park south to
Adams Gap.
All of this work on the Pinhoti Trail was done, and done well, by the USFS.
Copied from the Hiking Alabama Guest Book, by Tim Lewis:
In 1973, I worked as a junior in high school for the Youth Conservation Corps and part of
our job was building the Pinhoti Trail in the Pine Glen, Sweetwater Lake and Coleman Lake
area. It's gratifying to know that people use it.
1976 ~ Lower Shoal Shelter Construction / Section 9
email to Solo ~ May 2009
Hi!
I was perusing your site, reading about the Pinhoti Trail. It's been years since we last
visited the trail. My interest dates back to 1976 when I worked for the USFS in the
Youth Conservation Corps. That year one of the jobs we had was trail maintenance up
near Cheaha MT.
Another job we had, which is why I am writing you, was shelter construction. In 1976 the
YCC built Lower Shoal Shelter. You have it listed as a FS project in 1984. Believe me,
the YCC built it. The week my team worked that job, the shelter floor and sides had
already been built. (Each of the eight weeks of work with YCC was a different job in a
different place.)
For our week, we hauled in by wheelbarrow the shingles, nails, more lumber, paint / stain.
The truck parked on a fire road and we hiked in from N to S (I believe) along a narrow
trail on the side of a hill / mountain. (Low side was on our left as we hiked in.) We carried
bundles of shingles on our shoulders or heads (we wore safety helmets).
One memorable time: we had the wheelbarrow fully loaded with supplies and the guy
pushing it lost balance on that narrow trail and the contents spilled out, tumbling down the
hill. It took us a while to retrieve everything and get back to work.
After hauling supplies in, that week we stained the wood and I believe the guys laid
shingles. As I remember it, it was a hard, yet enjoyable week.
Sincerely,
Debbie Collins

Georgia state line.
1986 ~ Northern Forest Service Boundary Extended
The US Forest Service receives 3 million dollars from Congress to purchase 6000 acres
of land from the Nature Conservancy. This purchase extended the northern boundary of

2008 ~ Pinhoti / Appalachian Trail Connection Dedication
A 10,000 pound limestone and granite boulder with dedication plaque was placed at Cheaha
State Park (Section 6) on the north end of Hernandez Peak commemorating the
connection of the Pinhoti Trail to the Appalachian Trail.
2008 ~ Spring Creek Shelter Construction / Section 13

Here is a quote from The Anniston Star, Thursday, March 12 -

Tuesday night ( Mar. 10) and the three people suspected to be responsible for (setting
fire to) it are being held at the Calhoun County jail, according to the Sheriff's Office."
"The log cabin's two chimneys are all that remain of the building, which belonged to Pinky
Burns, a locally famous trapper, hunter and storyteller who lived there until his death in
1999 at the age of 81."
The cabin was located at Pinhoti Trail mile 136.1 ~ Burns Trailhead.

May13 ~ Courtesy of Mike Leonard ~ Continued progress on the Pinhoti.
In the last week or two, the Conservation Fund closed on the 1100 or so acre Evergreen
Tract on the crest of Rebecca Mountain at the south end of the Talladega National
Forest (Section 3).
We expect the U.S. Forest Service to buy it from the Fund by early June. This means
that the final and southernmost portion of the Pinhoti in the Talladega National Forest
can be built along a dramatic ridge crest route.
( $550,000 ? ) of the ( $1,500,000 ? ) cost was covered by private funds from a
conservation donor based in N.C. That private money had much to do with the U.S. Forest
Service making it a high priority project.
2009 ~ Rebecca Mountain / Section 3
As planned, the Forest Service has purchased the Evergreen Tract from the
Conservation Fund and the Pinhoti Trail corridor through here is now protected by the
USFS.

NASCAR, Conservation Fund Procure Pinhoti Trail Lands
Regional Forester Liz Agpaoa recently joined NASCAR driver Bobby Allison and the Ryan
Newman Foundation at the Talladega Speedway in Alabama for a “Racing for Wildlife”
fundraising event announcing additional funds for a special land acquisition in Region 8.
Because of the efforts such as this event, the Pinhoti National Trail now stretches
across 133 miles of the Talladega and Flat Shoals Ranger Districts.
The Conservation Fund, NASCAR and the Forest Service teamed up to add 1,129 acres to
the Talladega National Forest in Alabama. The acquisition is significant because the eight-
mile crest of Rebecca Mountain is a major ridge on the Appalachian Mountains, and this
land completes the Pinhoti Trail on National Forest System land in the state.
The government’s Land and Water Conservation Fund contributed $1.5 million of federal
funding toward purchasing the Rebecca Mountain land from the Conservation Fund. An
anonymous donor provided the $450,000 needed to complete the $1.97 million
transaction. The Conservation Fund supported early negotiations and defrayed costs by
providing an appraisal and a survey.
Forest Supervisor Miera Nagy said “The new addition allows the Pinhoti Trail to connect
people to some of the most spectacular landscapes for exercise, adventure and solitude.”
2010 ~ Trail Signs
During the months of January and February, 2010, appx. 50 trail info signs have been
placed on the trail. These signs were furnished by the USFS - Shoal Creek Ranger
District of the Talladega National Forest.
The area covered is the northern half of Alabama's side of the Pinhoti Trail in the
Talladega National Forest from the 96.7 ~ US 431 Trailhead to the 161.1 ~ High Point
Trailhead, Sections 8 thru 12.
The Appalachian Trail Club of Alabama has produced and donated comparable signs to the
Alabama Trails Association that cover Section 13, from the 161.1 ~ High Point Trailhead
up to the 173.9 ~ Jackson Chapel Trailhead. This section covers the Alabama Pinhoti from
the northern boundary of the Talladega National Forest to just past the Georgia state
line.
All of these signs were installed by volunteers from Alabama's Pinhoti Trail Clubs.
These signs have been placed at:
All trailheads
All paved roads
All usable dirt roads
All trail shelters
and the Dugger Mountain Wilderness
At each location, except the shelters, there are two signs. One shows mileage to
southbound landmarks and the other shows mileage to northbound landmarks. The shelters
have one sign showing mileage to both north and south landmarks.
