I think the map will help you a lot it seems to be pretty dead on. It's helped on my hikes. Also the trails up there are marked with signs so you shouldn't get lost.

God gave me two good legs and two good eyes I better use them.
I know this is a super old thread, but I just did a backpacking trip here myself. Here are two links I found extremely useful:

DITTO. I'll be hiking the Conasauga River the last weekend of this month and hope to do the Jacks River later in the Spring.
Have never hiked there ... yet.

I head up there 7-8 weekends per year. It has gotten more and more crowded every year for the last 15 years. If you are planning a weekend I would suggest getting in early Friday morning. Especially at Conasauga. My last three trips there have been loaded with very large Boy Scout groups.

Rain man are you doing a loop or an out and back or through on this trail? That looks like a nice area to hike.
We are planning a straight-through hike of the Conasauga River, between Betty Gap Trailhead and Conasauga River Trailhead. 13 miles total. I plan on splitting the group, hiking from each end, meet in the middle to camp at Bray Field, and swapping car keys.
We'll arrive and start Saturday morning, finish Sunday afternoon/evening.

My wife and I have done a backpacking trip and a day hike in the Conasauga River area, and want to explore more of the wilderness. It's a great place to do either. The more accessible areas will have more people obviously, but once you hike towards the interior the people sightings trend downward significantly (and the bear sightings increase!).
I hadn't seen the "cohuttawildernesshiking" website, so I'll be exploring it as well- thanks for the heads up on that!
Sounds like a good plan. Just be aware that Bray field is a very popular spot and is usually loaded with campers. If that's the case your group should be able to find something a short walk in either direction from Bray field.
