Backpacking on Cumberland Island

Explore Cumberland Island — Georgia's largest and southernmost barrier island and home to over 9,800 acres of congressionally designated wilderness. Here we will backpack through pristine maritime forests and wide marshes, while exploring the history of the island. Natives, missionaries, enslaved African Americans and Wealthy Industrialists all walked here. There are also wild ponies on the island!
