This is an unmarked primitive trail that is not maintained so the trail is uneven, rocky, and may have debris across the trail. Recommended for hikers with navigation skills as visual cues can vary throughout the year.

This is the former Blue Trail on the Corp of Engineer floodplain near the Etowah River. This trail is a primitive unmarked route with visible remanence nestled amongst mixed hardwood and pine forests traversing ridgelines and bottoms overlooking the nearby creeks.

The former Blue Trail was a point-to-point connecting trail from the Green Trail to the White Trail before the Wildlife Meadow/Historic Homestead. There are posts in place at each end designating the intersection with Green Trail or White Trail.

This is not a marked designated Sutallee Trace Trail because the US Army Corps of Engineers controls the floodplain. The Corps strictly regulates any enhancements made to the land they control or deem a trail be removed. The Corps forbids the creation of blazed trails, the construction of footbridges, and the posting of signage. However, the Corps does permit the existence of unmarked trails for hiking.
