The Hikeawassee Shuttle Program connects Appalachian Trail hikers with Hiawassee’s hotels, restaurants, shops, and services — free of charge. The shuttle runs during the 10-week AT Northbound (NOBO) thru-hiker "bubble," starting around the end of February and ending around the beginning on May.
Four years old and 100% volunteer-run, this service strengthens our local economy while providing hikers a warm welcome and access to the resources they need.
