Default Metro Atlanta Trails

Hey y'all I've searched but couldn't find a thread like this but I was thinking we could post our favorite trails in this thread to make it easier to find some new ones. Thanks y'all!

My favorite is
3813–3899 Windermere Pkwy
Cumming, GA 30041-5992
United States

It is right behind the ace hardware. It's good for stock jeeps too...lol. Had mudding spots on the trail so be ready for that!

Amicalola Falls - If you enter the park tell them you are going through and you won't have to pay for parking. Proceed all the way to the top into the cabin rental and camping area go right at the entrance and you will be in the Forrest. Once you get to the t go right onto nimblewill gap rd but either way you go will lead you out but to go right is more fun just side trails now. The Forrest service plowed it not to long ago and you can get through it with a corrolla so really it's just a dirt road but side trails are still fun. Hope this helps you. Have fun!


Went up there today and rode through and it was a nice drive, not much in the way of mud or larger rocks but very scenic and a nice relaxing ride. Only past one other vehicle up there.

Any trails down south of Atlanta? We just moved about 60 miles south east. New to trails so something simple would be great.

Wether this this trail is legal or not is highly debated but I've never had any troubles at all or have even ever heard of anyone that has. As far as cops unless they are sitting there waiting for you at the entrance. It is impossible for them to enter the trail due to the hill at the very beginning. So I do not believe there is anything to worry about

Found another one on Google Earth and apparently is good for mudding and beginners. It is right off 400 and North Point Mall. If you continue on the road that leads into Atlantic Seafood, Hibachi, and Wild Wings. If you stay straight you'll find it. I am going to post pictures once i go. Anyone else know of any spots?
