Tuesday, January 23, 2024

Other Names

Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests, Blue Ridge Ranger District, Wissenhunt Mountain, Sally Free Ridge, Campbell Mountain, Little Cane Creek, Clay Creek, Whissenhunt ORV Area

Last Known StatusClosed For Season

This trail system has around 11 miles of well marked trails with scenic forest and mountain views. The trails are mostly hard packed and covered with occasional loose rock and gravel. The area is best explored after a light rain since the trails can get pretty dusty during dry weather.

Those who are driving RVs or long trailers should be aware that the main entrance is narrow with only enough room for one vehicle at a time. Parking and services are limited at the staging area.
