Town Creek OHV Trails

Town Creek OHV Trail System in the Oconee National Forest in Greene County, Georgia, holds a geographic distinction in the state: it is the only USFS OHV system in central or south Georgia, making it the closest managed public OHV riding to Atlanta's eastern suburbs and the Piedmont communities between the mountains and the coast. The system covers 15 miles organized into two distinct loops, each with a different vehicle class assignment: Loop A is designated for motorcycles and bicycles, and Loop B is designated for ATVs and four-wheelers. Jeeps and UTVs are not permitted on either loop, the Trail is designed specifically for narrow-track machines in a Piedmont forest landscape. The Oconee National Forest terrain is less dramatic than the mountain systems to the north but offers genuine Piedmont character: rolling hardwood forest on sandy loam soils, creek crossings at managed ford points, and the quieter riding experience of a lower-traffic system with a limited geographic footprint. Primitive camping is available at the Loop B trailhead, one of the few on-site camping options in the Georgia Piedmont OHV system. Day passes are $5/operator, annual $50. The system is technically open year-round but frequently closes after heavy rain, clay-soil trails become impassable when saturated. Contact the Oconee Ranger District (706-485-7110) for conditions.
