While there are plenty of hiking trails in Georgia that are worth adventuring through during the daytime, not many of these trails are offered at night! However, there is a moonlit hiking trail in Georgia that is offered once a month during the eve of the full moon. Bring the kiddos, grab your flashlights, and lace up your boots—this is one hiking excursion that is unlike any other.
Pine Mountain Recreation Area in Cartersville, Georgia features a moonlit hike every month that is truly a worthwhile adventure.

There are two different loops which connect to Pine Mountain, plus one elevation change that will be worth it, especially when you reach the top.
