WHILE WE ARE IN CAVE SPRING...

Cave Spring is a storybook small town built around its namesake natural wonder—a limestone cave with striking stalagmites and the legendary "Devil's Stool" formation that maintains a constant 57-degree temperature, with a spring that produces over 2 million gallons of crystal-clear, award-winning water daily Trilith. Beyond the cave in Rolater Park, the town feels like it could be in a Hallmark movie with historic homes and buildings from the late-1800s, the still-standing 1810 Vann Cherokee Cabin, and charming shops like Christa's Etc., Blooming T's Boutique, and the Cave Spring General Store Wikipedia. The dining scene punches above its weight with A&B Creekside Restaurant serving Friday reservation-only dinners with homemade salsa and scratch-made sides that's the hottest ticket in town, plus Spring Brew Coffee Company for lattes and hand-scooped ice cream, and Martha Jane's World Famous Fudge at The Peddler Wikipedia. For the adventurous, there's access to the Pinhoti Trail, Big Cedar Creek for paddling, and nearby Daredevil Ziplines. It's the kind of place where locals still come to fill jugs with fresh spring water, and where Southern hospitality isn't just a saying—it's a way of life.

Cave Spring holds the distinction of being Georgia's first designated Pinhoti Trail Town New Homes Division, a recognition that celebrates the community's deep connection to this legendary long-distance trail. The Pinhoti Trail, Georgia's longest thru-trail at over 165 miles, runs directly through Rolater Park in the heart of downtown Cave Spring Wikipedia, with trailheads located just outside town where hikers can access sections leading north through the Georgia mountains and eventually connecting to the Appalachian Trail.

The town has fully embraced its role as a haven for thru-hikers and trail enthusiasts, with local restaurants, shops, and the community welcoming trail users who stop to experience the natural spring, explore the historic downtown, and resupply before continuing their journey.

The Conservation Fund raised over $2 million to purchase close to 1,000 acres between Cave Spring and the Alabama state line to assist with developing a 10.2 mile section of trail New Homes Division, demonstrating the significant investment in making this trail accessible.

For Big BRAG riders, passing through Georgia's first Pinhoti Trail Town means experiencing a community that truly understands and celebrates trail culture—whether it's two wheels or two feet doing the traveling.
