Review: Rode it today. It's in OK shape, but quite overgrown as many here have mentioned due to low maintenance. Quite a few washouts on the climbs/descents and several downed trees caused for a bit more hiking than I prefer. Clearly doesn't get much traffic....I was the only rider on a cool Saturday morning in August.

Review: I had wanted to get up to these trails for awhile and found them not worth even the short ride. Severely overgrown and not well marked at all. Once you leave the gravel track from the trail head the ride is interupted repeatedly by blow downs and bramble patches. Several trails are completely impassable due to being overgrown. It's a shame because the potential for a great trail system exists, North Georgia topography can be so challenging and steep but these trails need some serious maintenance. Could be awesome singletrack! Areas of trails that are rideable are fun and challenging, just don't expect to be able to ride far without stopping or backtracking.

Similar Trail: Don't know of any that are all that similar

Review: The key to this trail is finding your way to the singletrack trails inside of the main loop. Take a good look at the map and you'll see what I am talking about. The map lists the trails by numbers. Trails #1 and #3 run the majority of the outer perimeter and are also the most BORING trails out here. Do your best to avoid them and you'll be much happier with your ride. The other trails are tight singletrack that will throw you a couple of technical challenges coupled with punchy climbs. My favorite section was the stuff around the pond. Beautiful and flowy. Too bad there isn't more. As stated before, these trails don't get a lot of maintenance so be on the lookout for downed trees and be prepared for a decent amount of briars. The potential for a good trail is certainly here. This place just needs some trail work. For now, I'll rate it 2 stars but with a little work or some more mileage it could easily be a 3.

Review: Following the previous review I was a little worried but we had no choice but to ride it today. To my suprise it was not that bad. I can tell that riding in the summer when the Burma and grass is full grown would be a nightmare. All of the long grass was dead and it us a good trail for the area. There are some steep sections and some technical fast downhill sections. Little black diamond cut thru sections were very enjoyable.

Similar Trail: Nothing really simalar

Review: This trail is in need of some serious maintenance. We rode it last week and 95% of the trail grass was about as tall as the seat on my bike. Not to mention the briars hanging over the trail. My legs and arms were tore up. At one point in the trail the briars cross the complete trail and if you are like me and blazing down that hill you just have to take it in the chest. I am sure this will be a great trail once it is maintined. IF that happens I will ride again and update this review. I am gonna keep an eye out for a work party there and go help. It needs a lot of work.

Review: For a mountain bike trail, this makes a great running trail. I wondered why, on a crystal clear day with 75 degree temps, this place was deserted. What I saw was a lot of wasted space and potential. Instead of winding the trail through and around the mountains, there are sharp climbs and steep descents and only a few miles of poorly designed trails. The technical section is not laid out very well, lacking any kind of flow and consisting mostly of dips, steep climbs, and super-narrow track to make it technical. More than half the system is rutted dirt road resembling powerline trails. Also, I just don't think a downhill 90 degree turn with a log in the middle of the turn is a good idea. And you should never come out of a blind low-speed turn directly into a 3 foot deep dip. I know this is a brutal review, but the trail just seemed like it was laid out by people who never rode a bike off-road. I know that's not true but that was the way it felt. It needs A LOT of work.

Similar Trail: Thankfully, there is nothing similar to this.

Review: Rode it my first time yesterday. Enjoyed it. Lots of climbing, good technical, narrow singletrack, some old, wide established doubletrack, and some inbetweeen. Place has a lot of potential. Look forward to riding there again.

Similar Trail: Locally Similar?huh, maybe Berry College, Silver Comet Mtb Side trails, Maybe Pilcher's Pond off of the Pinhoti trail near Dalton
