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 4-wheeler.
This 4-wheeler 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 4-wheelers 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 4-wheeler in this area, be sure to wear bright orange so you and your 4-wheeler aren't mistaken for some game and something tragic happens.
These 4-wheeler trails are well marked and easy to follow, even for newer 4-wheelerers and the forest is very heavily foliaged throughout the trail area. The 4-wheeler trail follows an old woods road along the forest ridge of Tatum Mountain. The 4-wheeler trail comes to a dead end to the South at a mound that ends on the Government Property Boundary. If you are on your 4-wheeler 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 across from private land and your 4-wheeler must be properly tagged and licensed to drive on this property. The trail itself ends on private land. Be respectful and don't drive your 4-wheeler on private land unless you have exclusive permission from the landowner.
Since this is a land managed by the National Forest Service, they will require that you have your spark arrestor and muffler in place prior to hauling your 4-wheeler out to ride these trails.
