there was a lot of work went into this project and people that want to get on here and post complaints should stay home, wear a mask, and keep drinking the fluoride......complainers only see negative. God bless the ones that preformed all this work in effort to be a blessing to non deserving useful idiots.....

I was very disappointed, and want to make everyone aware that most of the trail viewable on Google maps, the mountain goat website map, AllTrails, etc. are CLOSED, gated privately owned roads and not accessible to the public. The existing portion of the trail is okay. It's totally flat, paved, and in good condition. Only about 1.5 miles is secluded, the remainder runs parallel to Highway 41A so most of it's fairly boring and not at all peaceful with traffic. Because all the maps show the trail, I was under the impression you could hike from Sewanee, through Hawkins Cove, to Cowan. You can't (at least not legally.) It's blocked with gates and no trespassing signs on both ends (Cowin and Sewanee).
