This is the only trail system on public land in Georgia that supports full-size vehicles, greater than 50 inches. Many of the features are designed for full-size vehicles, and some trails may not accomodate shorter wheel bases or two-wheel vehicles.
- Motorized trails close when conditions are wet to prevent trail damage and erosion into streams. The Beasley Knob Trails are open from sunrise to sunset. Beasley Knob Is closed seasonally from January 1 to April 1. Check the status of your favorite trail.
- A full list of rules and regulations, including those implemented by the state of Georgia, are listed here.
- The system is made up of interconnecting dirt trails, rock hill climbs and gravel roads through the Chattahoochee National Forest. It is recommended for experienced riders, only, due to its challenging terrain and steep ascents. Please, no bolted, studded or tire chains allowed.
