If you're in the Georgia area and you're looking for a fun place to ride your ATV, consider the Tatum Lead ORV Trail as a place to ride your ATV.
This ATV trail measures in at only 7-miles, but it's a good ride. These are multi-use trails meaning you will not only encounter other ATVs on these trails, but hikers, mountain bikers and during the months of November through February, hunters.
Be aware during hunting season and if you must ride your ATV in this area, be sure to wear bright orange so you and your ATV aren't mistaken for some game and something tragic happens.
These ATV trails are well marked and easy to follow, even for newer ATVers and the forest is very heavily foliaged throughout the trail area. The ATV trail follows an old woods road along the forest ridge of Tatum Mountain.
The ATV trail comes to a dead end to the South at a mound that ends on the Government Property Boundary. If you are on your ATV when you come to this point you must enter the trail end from the east of Cohutta Lodge on Fort Mountain.
Be very careful getting there, the first 2 miles of road is right of way across private land and your ATV must be properly tagged and licensed to drive on this property. The tail itself ends on private land. Be respectful and don't drive your ATV on private land unless you have exclusive permission from the landowner.
As with all National Forest Lands, be sure to have your muffler and spark arrestor in place before you ride and get ready to have a great time riding the Tatum Lead ORV Trail!
