Why Georgia Overland?

In a word, Connectivity. I wish to find all open and legal, unpaved roads in Georgia. The goal is to create a network of dirt, gravel or unimproved roads and trails across Georgia. My focus is on North Georgia, though the project is open to any roads in the state that meet the criteria, and will likely include portions of NW South Carolina, SW North Carolina, SE Tennessee and NE Alabama. If you have a favorite legal trail, track or route you wish to share, and you have no reservations offering it up freely to the world, send an email my way.

Enjoy the journey,

David

Burrells Ford Road to Bald Mountain Road

Northeast Georgia. This trail begins (or ends, depending on where you start) on Burrells Ford Road in the Northwest corner of South Carolina. The trail is almost entirely in Georgia and is nearly all graded dirt and gravel road. Unless you are travelling in the winter, this trail should not pose any problems for a high-clearance vehicle. The section of road between the GA 28 / Burrells Ford Rd junction and the Warwoman Rd and FS 86 junction is pavement. The northern end of the trail is located at the border of Northeast Georgia and Southwest North Carolina. Note: There are numerous side-trails that I have yet to map. I have explored this area quite a bit over the last 10+ years. Not too far from this trail is one of our favorite spots to hike and camp, Rabun Bald. The second highest mountain in Georgia offers excellent views from the small, open lookout tower. Visit in the winter on a clear day to witness the amazing mountain views.
