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.

Most of the land under power lines is private property, not owned by Georgia Power. We acquire rights from the property owner to locate the power lines on the property. Typically, a property owner grants an easement. This allows us the right to "construct, operate, maintain and access" power or communication lines on the land. Any public use of these lands requires the consent of the property owner and accessing the rights-of-way without permission from the property owner may be considered trespassing. Is trail riding by off-road vehicles allowed on the right-of-way? No. The use of off-road vehicles on the right-of-way is not permitted. This type of use causes erosion to the area, disturbances to the property owners and can destroy the access routes that the company uses to get to the poles and wires. ----------- You are confusing rights of way and private property. A ROW gives the legal means to use and control access. While there may be some ROWs on PUBLIC PROPERTY (such as a state park), use by OHVs is not allowed.

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?
