Places to Stay

Chatsworth is a small town and has limited hotel accommodations, however there are plenty of places to stay nearby. Consider either Dalton, 15 minutes away or Cartersville (near Hwy 411 and I-75), 40 minutes away.

If you're staying on Fort Mountain or do not want to take a shuttle bus to the start then you can have someone drop you off at the Overlook Inn parking area. Make sure they leave well in advance of 7:30am or they will be behind runners the whole way down Hwy 52. We suggest getting dropped off by 7:15am if you choose to get your own ride.
