Reader Submission: Dupont State Forest

Georgia Overland Contributor, Randall Warren, is at it again. I received the following information regarding a ride he enjoyed in the Dupont State Forest. And as I stated in earlier posts, since I have neither verified the accuracy of the descriptions nor checked for legal vehicle travel, I feel obligated to state the obvious...Use the following information at your own risk. With that out of the way, I give you Dupont State Forest from Randall Warren:

Here's some info on Dupont. It's located in the community of Cedar Mountain off Highway 276. It's about twenty minutes from Brevard, North Carolina and one hour from Greenville, South Carolina.

Take Cascade Lake Road off Highway 276. Go about 500 feet and turn right on Reasonover Road. This goes for about 2.5 miles then splits. Pinnacle Mountain Road goes left and Green River Road continues straight.

Rich Mountain WMA to the Cohutta and Big Frog Wilderness Loop

This collection of a few dirt and gravel roads is an attempt to capture as many off-pavement opportunities as possible for visitors as they transit between Rich Mountian and the Cohutta and Big Frog Wilderness Loop.

Rich Mountain WMA to Coopers Creek WMA

This section connects portions of the previously captured in the West Wolf Creek Rd to Georgia Highway 60 file. It adds portions of road to the Coopers Creek WMA, as well as a remote section of dirt and gravel trail (FS 640 and Old Dial Rd) that runs nearly unbroken from Skeenah Gap Rd in the east, crosses Georgia Highway 60 / Morganton Highway, and continues to the Shallowford Bridge in the west. Also found in this section is the Toccoa River Canoe Launch at Sandy Bottom, a variety of hiking trails, and a waypoint to a really interesting 'Swinging Bridge' found along the Benton MacKaye Trail.
