Worst State Park In Georgia - How to Train For A Backpacking Trip 

Love the time spent by the water. Flow of the river is awesome.

definitely adding this to our wish list, awesome 'creek' and love seeing old structures. take care and see ya next time

It is really a wonderful virtual walk accompanying you to see amazing scenes of nature😊🇨🇦🌹🌹

Nice cascades and falls to hike along. Nice to virtually meet your wife. CI 2022 is fast approaching. Whoot Whoot! CI 2022 Tramily for LIFE! ~RVA~

Hey! Awesome to meet Stephanie! Great trail hike & good information. Haha. Yes. More off the trail for your 🤳 selfie.

Hi, Stephanie! 🙋‍♀️ I'm excited to meet you both on CI! This really is some beautiful scenery. I love the cotton mill ruins.

Thanks for the helpful trail educate… im willing to learn from those patient enough to teach

Awesome vidz my friend and interesting hiking adventures out there.

Can’t believe you’re even making Mrs.Metro even carry her stuff on the upcoming Cumberland Island hike. You should carry your stuff, her stuff, and her ! Now that would be a epic video to watch.. haha. Good vid bro, J⚡️H

Beautiful hike, guys. Your wife did great. Hope your next trip is awesome.

great training hike, that is definitely more than a creek... more like a river. And great old cotton mill too. Good amount of weight to train up with. Training for the CI trip. Good point about moving to the side...I see so many people not doing that on busy trails. I collected 5 poop bags yesterday at Fort Harrison... shame shame. Can't wait to see you guys for the CI trip. I might be heading out to the Grand Canyon next week on a solo to Indian Garden... it's been 7 years since I went to the bottom.

Good tip! Stay safe out there.

Definitely want to hit this park! So scenic with the ruins and rapids. I know y’all are going to love Cumberland!

Hello, Mrs. Metro! 👋 That's a nice river walk, I mean, a creek walk. There must be some nice campsites as well.

Beautiful river bank, it's definitely a good idea to think about revisiting this place in summer, when everything is green and the sky is blue. But even now, the rapids seemed astonishing 👌

At the beginning I thought it looked like a pond, them more like a river. Nice training hike!

Yay!! It's always nice to get the wife out too! I have issues getting mine out there but it's nice when she does! Love that creek!! Bet that's popular in the summer! Pretty sure i watched An Adventure with Nick and Rachel at this spot. Haha i dislike filming with so many people around! 😜 Great hike!!

Awesome to have some company!! What a sport!

Can you Kayak that creek? Looks like it would be fun. Your going to Cumberland Island!! Awesome!! I really dig the hiking trail along the water. Beautiful scenery brother. Really cool your wife went with you. 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice work getting some training in! Sounds like you have a fun trip planned! I love hiking next to a river or a creek! Makes any hike better having that beauty for the eyes and the ears!

Cumberland Island is a great place to hike. I took my son when he was working on his Hiking Merit Badge for his 20 mile. Of course we did more than that over the weekend, but he had to get the 20 in one day. Racoon Keys is a great spot for looking for sharks teeth just south of Dungeness when the tide is out. Gotta time it just right though. Bring rain gear. Seems to always rain. Coldest showers you will ever take are at Sea Camp. Have a great time. My family is headed there in June. I can't wait. No matter how many times I have been, it is always a great trip.

Seemed like you were beside the water pretty much all day, which is always nice! Thought the shots of the cotton mill ruins were pretty cool and appreciated that you turned a couple of negative experiences on the trail into friendly etiquette reminders 👍

Any trail that has a stream alongside it is always nice

Looks a lot like the AT to me! 😍

Well done! Ms. Metro for the win with the 25 lb. packs!!! Ms. Metro (Stephanie) should definitely be a part of future videos! She did awesome. Actually, a nice park. Cool stream by the trail. Crow✌️

place was nice👍 congrats on the training🙂

Love it!!!

This is my home park, if you get there at open, you'll have the whole park to yourself until about 9 when the trail running crew comes in. I love this place, there are tons of side trails that lead to amazing spots on the river. Wildlife is amazing up here too if you catch it at the right time, there are a ton of various reptiles. Really do just have to avoid the people, and the park is fantastic. Also, you mention that you aren't sure where the water comes from, this is actually a tributary of the Chattahoochee River. The mill is a paper mill also, not a cotton mill.

Your wife did great with that training session. Those ruins looked cool and that was a great looking trail down along the creek.

My thoughts too about this being a "creek". My grandparents used to live a mile from there and they too called it Sweetwater "creek"

Next time you're hitting somewhere in North GA, I'd LOVE to hit a trail or 2 with you. Or even some cold weather camping. Been really digging the Crockford-Pidgeon WMA and Cloudland Canyon lately.

I don't think Stephanie will have any problem hiking CI. 👍

Better looking company than you normally keep! Watch out for the buggers on Cumberland Isle!

Funny how most parks near Atl look mostly the same in the winter lol

Super excited to see your Wife joining on the trail! How were the legs after her first maiden voyage with a full pack? And did she decide to do a pack purge to free up some of the weight?

Dam Metro, I thought you’d be parking in the VIP section? LOL

Awesome training route! I wonder what it would be like for Justin Outdoors, Metro and Off-Grid to go on a trip with their partners who are all named Steph? 🤣

This park is pretty near where I live (i'm in smyrna). I haven't been in a while though. I get bored of going to the same places over and over again. But I might hit this one up this Weekend.

The state park trail is massive (to me) on the other side of the mill.

Cumberland Island really deserves some overnight camping.

Keep an eye out for timber rattlers in warm months, the park has a very high population of them.

Looks like a possible double date in the future?! Did Steph love it?

What pullover do you have on?

I took my gal hiking last summer. She got bit up by horse flys. Her legs looked like she had leprosy and she has refused to go with me again lol.

You hiking next week in northern Georgia?

Why is Stephenie carrying a old school framed pack?

When are we getting her to the PMT? Rachael would love another female 😂 and man I walk through people if they block the trail. I don’t even hesitate.

Dude, I think she could take you. 🤣
