Follow the war's bloodiest fighting in Georgia, from the two-day slaughter at Chickamauga in September 1863 through the rearguard stands and mountain-gap battles that opened Sherman's 1864 Atlanta Campaign. This driving trail runs north to south and roughly in the order the fighting unfolded, from Fort Oglethorpe down to the Confederate dead at Resaca.
Chickamauga & the Northwest Georgia Battlefields is a self-guided driving tour of Fort Oglethorpe to Resaca, built around its civilwar side.
The walk covers 8 stops over about 58.0 miles and roughly 6 hours, entirely at your own pace. Each stop's story unlocks on your phone the moment you arrive — GPS-triggered, hands-free, no guide and no tour group to keep up with.
