Description
Trail is mostly purpose cut singletrack but has a couple of easier sections

that are made up of doubletrack or old reclaimed forest roads that are

quickly turning into doubletrack. Easy, intermediate, and advanced

sections. Good mix of climbs and descents with plenty of area to keep you

busy all day. Almost all the trails are bike only except for the Cloudland

Connector Trail which runs straight through the system on its way up to

Chattanooga.

Review: My son and I had a blast here today. Some tough climbs in places and some really good downhills. The woods here are beautiful as well. We didn't get to ride a lot of trails due to some mechanical trouble with my sons bike. We will definitely be back to tackle the rest of them. Everyone should go and give this place a try!

Review: Couldn't get enough - was back out yesterday to log 16 miles. Crosscut & Bella better as a route back to 5 pts. Tailings & Hogsback are expert due to the narrowness and angle of the track - better the second time thru after you know what to expect - easier if you keep your speed up. There was one other car at the trail head, but I never saw another person all morning. A downed tree on Slickenside and another on Mick's.

Review: One word - Awesome! Smooth, good flow, fantastic rock garden, fun tabletops, beautiful scenery. Was surprised at the 'dump' on the back side of kettle as well as all of the broken glass on the trail - thought it was vandalism at first but more likely has been buried there for years... Had the place to myself fo the first hour - then met a couple more first timers at Five Points. Had a great morning. Will definitely return!

Review: Only got to ride about half the trails here, but had a good time. Even though it seemed neverending on Fugget Climb (I said 'fugget' about 3/4 through) and Crosscut, the resultant downhills (Hanging Wall and Torino to Caprock) were great fun. Unfortunately, we missed out on most of the advance (and technical?) trails , only riding Tailings at the get-go. Many of the trails had a very Blankets feel to them with lots of flow and smoothness. We'll probably be back.

Review: Amazing trail system with something for everyone from beginners to experts. The coal tailings are fun to ride and even beginners shouldn't have much trouble here despite the "expert" rating. The Caprock trail, on the other hand, is more challenging. Great facilities and well worth the $5 parking fee.

Review: This trail is the best trail system I have ridden in Georgia. Is it the best trail, period? That I don't know, as they are great epic routes or out-and-back routes such as the Pinhoti or Bear Creek. But for a comprehensive trail system, Five Points takes the cake. It wins for a number of reasons: 1. The sheer number of miles. With numerous mountain bike-only trails available as well as the multiuse CCT trail, there is plenty of riding for a very full day. 2. The diversity. With trails ranging in difficulty from beginner to advanced, there's a little bit of something for everyone. There's also a jump/rhythm/pumptrack section with incredible flow and well-built features that look like they were very time consuming to build. There are also several nice rocky sections, but I wish there had been more of those. 3. Quality. These trails are all superbly designed and superbly built singletrack trails. Excellent bench cut, excellent grade reversals, and excellent flow will all contribute to a long-lasting trail system. 4. Creativity. Some of these trail routings are the most creative I have ever ridden! (I'm thinking specifically of the tailings trail). Hugging the sides of those ridgelines and dipping down into the gullies and between the trees... this trail is really a work of art! Kudos to whoever is responsible for this masterpiece. It was almost a 3 hour trek from my home to get here, but it was well worth it. I plan on doing it again!

Review: Slickenslide, Caprock, South Hogsback, North Hogsnack, Tailings run and Kettle Bottom. Rode all of these today. A little muddy in places but that just made things better. This is a well built trail system. Nice singletrack that never gets old. Now get out and ride!

Review: Took a 2 hour drive to try this Trail and will definately go back. Might be a good idea to bring all your gear and just camp at Cloudland Canyon State Park and ride all weekend. My favorites were Kettlebottom and Hanging Wall. Slickenside was so awesome I turned around and done it twice.

Review: A GREAT set of trails new to GA. I highly suggest making the drive to visit this system. Came from Atlanta and will certainly be making the drive again. VERY well signed but still print a map before you go as the kiosk was out. Awesome mix of climbs, descents, and fun man made obstacles. Not too many technical sections other than the super cool man made stuff on Slickenslide and a short section on the trails down on the southwest side. Can't remember that trail name off the top of my head but I think it may have been the Cap Rock trail but don't quote me on it. Favorite to trails were Slickenslide and Tailings Run.
