There are many ATV trails available to ride in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest area. In this article we will talk about a couple of these trails, and give you all the info you need to know about them.
The first ATV trail we will talk about is the Locust Stake ATV Area. Located in Clarkesville, Georgia, this area spans 17 miles of trails and is suitable for all types of off road vehicles that do not exceed 480 in width. The ATV trails in this area range for very difficult to easy, so remember be careful you pick the right trail to suit your ability. Remember to stay on the designated trails at all times, and to respect the land. To get to Locust Stake ATV Area, take GA Hwy. 365 North from Cornelia for 10 miles. Turn left on Rock Road. Travel a small distance until you see the first gravel road on the right. Make a right and drive for a mile and a half until you see the parking and unloading area on the right.
The other ATV trail well cover in is the Oakey Mountain ORV Trail. Located in Clayton, Georgia near Lake Rubun and Lake Burton, the Oakey Mountain ORV Trail spans 6.2 miles and is suitable for ATVs with an axle width of less than 48, as well as trail bikes and other off road vehicles. The trail is not looped, thus traffic is two way.
Due to many blind curves on the trail, it may not be the best trail for the beginning ATV rider. To access the Oakey Mountain ORV Trail's parking lots from Clayton, go west on Hwy. 76 for about seven miles. Make a left on Charlie Mountain Road until it deadends. Then turn right on the Bridge Creek Road for 2 miles until it deadends at Lake Burton Dam Road. Stay right for until you reach the entrance roads on the left and right sides.
