Beasley Knob OHV Trail System

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Other Names

Chattahoochee National Forest, Blue Ridge Ranger District, Ross Ridge, Roundtop Mountain, Blue Rock, Jones Knob, Nicholson Gap, Beasley Knob ATV Trail, Nelson Ridge, Bridge Gap, Scruggs Top, Davis Ridge, Jackson Gap, Thunder-struck Mountain, Scrougetown Creek

Last Known StatusTemporarily Closed  (due to wet trail conditions)

About 13 miles of connecting trail loops can be found here and most are rated as either "Difficult" or "Most Difficult", so expect steep and rocky. Also note that these are the type of trails that get even more challenging during wet weather. There are a few trails that are fairly easy, but not enough to keep a novice entertained for very long.

The trails close seasonally to motorized use from January through March, but exact dates vary so check with the ranger station before heading out. A day use pass is required to ride here which can be purchased online or by using the QR code posted at the trailhead kiosk. Annual passes are also available which can be obtained by visiting the Blue Ridge Ranger District or at the local Chevron station.

Thanks go to Georgia Bounty Runners club for maintaining these trails and helping to keep them open.
