OHV Trail Riding

Check out a list of motorized trails below for information. Each trail system page has a link to a map of the trails in its area. Motorized trails close when conditions are wet to prevent trail damage and erosion into streams. Check the status of your favorite trail or Call Before You Haul. In the Chattahoochee and Oconee National Forests, you can only ride on trails designated for the purpose of off-road riding.

Where You Can Ride OHVs and ATVs

The Chattahoochee and Oconee National Forest is closed to off road vehicle use except on designated trails. Some trails are seasonally or intermittently closed to allow recovery from overuse. Sometimes trails are closed to protect them from damage when they are too wet or the effects of freezing and thawing soften the trail tread.

Find more Motor Vehicle Use Regulations to learn more about where to legally operate and why OHVs are prohibited on Forest Service roads.
