Summary:
Our first time to this trail to ride horses. I thought it was great, fallen trees, poop and all. Just what we were looking for to get young horses exposed to creeks crossing, bridges, fallen trees and bugs! Easy terrain, we rode for 4 hours over all the property we could find trail to. We are planning a return trip next week. We rode on a tuesday and there was only 2 other horses, no walkers or bikers. The poison ivy was the worst I have ever seen. Be careful of it. It was difficult to tie to the cables due to poison ivy everywhere. We will ride toward the Juliette Cafe next time.

Recommended Route:
from Dublin, I-16 to I-75 to hwy. 23. Continue as the others have recommended. We are horse women so we thought it was great, poop and all!!

Summary:
Overall Fun run - ticks were terrible down on the river portion ( 4/15/01) Stay away from brush!! - North portion of trail ( back across gravel road ) lots of fun ( less ticks ) . Some of the hills are difficult to ride all the way up - switch back or 2 would help. Beautiful hardwood timber and large pine. Don't start too late in the day unless prepared to ride in the dark!

Recommended Route:
From parking lot down to river pretty muddy this week - took trail to left at river out to 83 and back. Then cont up main dirt road to first road on right ( 2 mi? 0 and following back around to parking.

Summary:
Great trail, potentially. coming from north georgia (originally) i must say there is far more effort going in to the trail maintenance here than needs to be at times and not enough at others. if fallen trees dont make you walk, cross ties (for erosion control) will.
These trails are tooooo sandy but still fun. decent up hill, if you dont get stuck in sand. excellent, twisting downhill on the left (at the river) side.
there is A LOT of big trees down wich break the ride up horribly and more horse goodies than you can pick out of your tires!
all things considered...excellent trails for middle georgia!
five tires if not for fallen trees!

Recommended Route:
either way--their is plenty of shit!

Summary:
Trail runs through some very beautiful bottomlands under large canopies of trees. Trail has indeed been here for a long time, but the trail needs some attention, and quite a few large fallen trees need to be cut away. We have spent approximately 90 hours (collectively) on cleaning up this trail. However, it is our understanding that chainsaws cannot be used except by Oconee Forest approved individuals. If anyone knows of such an individual, we would be glad to show them certain areas that need to be cleared for enjoyable biking. Nonetheless, this trail should be quite enjoyable for any level of biker as soon as some of these obstacles are removed. From the standpoint of pure beauty, we rank this trail a 4, but with increased traffic, clearance, and usage, this trail should become much better, and a ranking of 5 will be warranted.

Recommended Route:
There are several. You can start at the horse park on FSR 1099, or at Wise Creek, or at Highway 83, or at several other points from Smith Mill Road.
