Indian Mounds Trail, Oconee National Forest
At the end of this one mile long trail is two Indian mounds. Even though one mound rises fourty feet above the flood plain, the dense vegetation makes it invisible until you are upon it. Speaking of flood plain, this trail is impassible in wet weather. This easy walking trail is also a good site for woodland spring wildflowers.
Access
The trailhead is between Watkinsville and Greensboro, not far from Skull Shoals. To find it, we
recommend a map.
Note: Like all National Forests, hiking and camping are allowed anywhere except where specifically prohibited. However, many parcels of land in the area are not part of the National Forest. Please respect the private landowners' rights.
Caution: Hunting is also allowed anywhere in the National Forest, except where specifically prohibited. We recommend you stay away from active hunting areas, unless you are familiar with the hazards and appropriate precautions. Hunting is prohibited in certain popular recreation areas. Also, the whole National Forest is free of hunting certain parts of the year. Contact the ranger station for details.
