Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox hiking trail
The Bartram Trail follows the approximate route of 18th-century naturalist William Bartram’s southern journey from March 1773 to January 1777. Bartram explored much of the territory which is now the states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee.
The most established section is a hiking trail that winds about Шаблон:Convert from the North Georgia mountains into North Carolina. It has been designated as a National Recreation Trail in Georgia,[1][2] North Carolina,[3] and Alabama.[4]
The Bartram Trail Conference, Inc., was founded in 1976 to identify and mark the route of Bartram’s southern explorations and to promote interest in developing recreational trails and botanical gardens along the route. The BTC also encourages the study, preservation and interpretation of the William Bartram heritage at both cultural and natural sites in Trail states.
The North Carolina Bartram Trail Society was organized in 1977. The Society reached an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to mark the general trail corridor within the Nantahala National Forest, and to blaze and build the trail, which was completed. They conduct meetings in the Spring and Fall each year, and organize trail work hikes.
Georgia
In Georgia, the Bartram Trail covers Шаблон:Convert.[5] After entering Georgia from North Carolina, the trail follows a ridge line to its highest point in Georgia at Rabun Bald ,[2] Шаблон:Convert, the second-highest point in the state, along the Eastern Continental Divide. From there it passes Martin Creek Falls and Becky Branch Falls as it drops to go through Warwoman Dell. From Warwoman Dell, it climbs again before dropping to its lowest elevations along a stretch of the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River. In addition to a number of waterfalls like Martin Creek Falls and Becky Branch Falls and vistas from Rabun Bald, the Bartram Trail offers a great deal of scenic beauty.
The Georgia portion of the trail is entirely in the Chattooga River District of the Chattahoochee National Forest and is managed by the United States Forest Service. The southern terminus of the Bartram Trail is at its intersection with Georgia State Route 28 at the South Carolina state line.
South Carolina
The trail connects into South Carolina along the Chattooga Trail, joining with the Foothills Trail, which is also a designated National Recreation Trail.
North Carolina
In North Carolina, the Bartram Trail meanders Шаблон:Convert near the mountainous towns of Franklin, Highlands, Andrews, Robbinsville, and Nantahala. It includes Шаблон:Convert Wayah Bald, which is the highest point on the trail and where it crosses the Appalachian Trail. There is an optional Шаблон:Convert canoe section on the Little Tennessee River.[6]
Florida
The William Bartram Scenic & Historic Highway, named in honor of the botanist's travels in Florida, runs Шаблон:Convert along the east side of the St. Johns River from Jacksonville south to northwestern St. Johns County on State Road 13.
Bartram Trail High School at St. Johns, Florida (just south of Jacksonville) is named for the scenic highway and Bartram's exploration route around the Northern St. Johns County area.[7]
Alabama
The Шаблон:Convert long Bartram Canoe Trail system of canoe and kayak water trails in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta is one of the longest in the United States.[8] It is operated by the Alabama Department of Conservation and offers canoeists and kayakers 13 different routes to choose from, including three routes with floating campsites. Named for William Bartram, it represents a small section of Bartram's travels by boat on the Mobile, Tensaw and Tombigbee Rivers in the summer of 1775.
The William Bartram Arboretum (Шаблон:Coord) is located within Fort Toulouse Park, near Wetumpka, Alabama and is named in honor of the 18th century naturalist, who visited the area in 1776.
