Map showing the ranger districts of the Chattahoochee National Forest
The Chattooga Ranger District is one of the five ranger districts of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The district is spread through portions of Banks, Habersham, Lumpkin, Stephens, Towns, Union and White Counties in Georgia. Some of the features within the borders of the district are the Soque River, Tray Mountain and the Tray Mountain Wilderness.
The current headquarters for the Chattooga Ranger District is located in Clarkesville, Georgia. However, on March 9, 2006, the District Ranger announced that the Tallulah Ranger District and the Chattooga Ranger District will be combined and a new office will be opened in a central location between Clayton, Georgia and Clarkesville.[1] The location (in Rabun County, Georgia along U.S. 441, south of Clayton and north of Tallulah Falls) is expected to be completed in phases over a five year period and will include a new District Office, a work center, and a helibase.[2]
