Default Fun North GA Novice Ride - Cashes Valley Rd - Blue Ridge/Ellijay

We found a fun novice trail today outside Blue Ridge, GA. Took our stock Rubi to Cashes Valley Cemetery, which is at end of Cashes Valley Road. Counted 9 water crossings, from just a trickle to just covering my rock rails. Storms last night might have filled the stream more today, I don't know. I've only done forest service roads so far, and this was certainly the best one I've found yet. There was also one road off Cashes Valley that looked steep and challenging, will try to do that next time we're here.

Directions below copied/pasted from a different website. We came in from Blue Ridge, so got to Cashes Valley Road differently.


Location: 345010N Latitude; 0842812W Longitude.
From the circle in Ellijay Ga. travel approximately .5 miles north
on Hwy 52 to Boardtown Road. Turn right on to Boardtown Road and
travel approximately 11.4 miles north to Bushey Head Road. Turn left
on Bushey Head Road and travel approximately 2.7 miles to Cashes
Valley Lane. Bear left and continue for approximately .6 miles to
Cashes Valley Road, turn left. (There will be 10-15 mailboxes in a
row on the left side of the road, Cashes Valley Lane continues
straight) Travel Cashes Valley Road for approximately 4 miles to
Cashes Valley Church of Christ Cemetery. It will be on your left
along with the remains of the church roof from the burned church.
The road is single lane dirt with 5 major creek fords that requires
a high clearence vehicle. The fords are 20-30 feet long and 12" - 14"
deep during dry season.

Thanks for sharing. I will try it out in August.

I like it that you post the difficulty level with the directions.

I look forward to other locations you post in the future.

Thanks for sharing. Tons of great places for Jeeps in this area. It just takes some time to find them.
