around 17 miles. good bit of it is along the Chattooga river and relatively easy walking. A couple of up and downs. Have done it both ways multiple times and think it's easier going from Burrells forward to Oconee but neither way is really tough.
Another good thing about it is there are multiple points you can bail out if need, Nicholson ford rd, hwy 107 and Cherry(something) campground.
Also another option is to go from Burrells ford to HWY 28 along the chattooga river trail. about 12 to 13 miles. It runs concurrent with the FHT from Burrells ford to Pigpen falls where it goes right and continues to follow the river. I love that hike!
