Town Creek OHV Trails

The Beasley Knob OHV Trail System is 13.4 miles of interconnected off-road trail in the Chattahoochee National Forest near Blairsville in Union County, Georgia — a corner of the state known for the highest elevations in Georgia's Blue Ridge and the rugged character that comes with genuine mountain terrain. Beasley Knob earns its reputation honestly: the system is rated difficult to most difficult and the operator's recommendation that it is suitable for experienced riders only is accurate. The signature features are rock hill climbs and gravel roads that demand technical skills, adequate machine capability, and the mechanical confidence to diagnose problems far from the trailhead. The system serves two vehicle categories — ATVs, 4x4 vehicles, and motorcycles — which is broader than many Georgia USFS systems. Access is from two trailheads: Satterfield Trailhead and Blue Rock Trailhead, each providing different entry points into the interconnected loop network. Day passes are $5/operator at the trailhead; annual passes are available through the recreation.gov portal. The system's proximity to the North Georgia mountains' broader recreation economy (Vogel State Park, Brasstown Bald, the AT corridor) makes Blairsville a well-supplied base for multi-day visits. The trail closes January through March and frequently closes after heavy rain — red clay is unrideable when saturated. Contact the Blue Ridge Ranger District (706-745-6928) for current conditions.

Off-road park with trails for ATV, UTV, dirt bike, and 4x4 riding.

Durhamtown Off Road Adventures is one of the largest commercial off-road resort complexes in the Southeast — a 5,000-acre property in Greene County, Georgia, that functions less like a trail park and more like a dedicated off-road destination with the scale and infrastructure to host national events and sustain multi-day visits. The trail inventory at Durhamtown is designed for volume and variety: 150+ miles of signed one-way routes prevent the head-on traffic problems of two-way systems at this scale, 35 miles of dedicated single-track serve the motorcycle and skilled ATV market, and a separate complement of tracks — 14 motocross tracks, a dirt oval, and a dirt drag strip — adds competitive riding options rarely found alongside a trail system this large. A 40+ mile 4x4 and UTV obstacle trail network serves the Jeep and full-size vehicle crowd. The resort infrastructure matches the scale of the trail operation: a full parts and repair shop, machine rentals, an on-site restaurant, RV hookup sites, and cabin accommodations. A facility note: Durhamtown closed in January 2022 under prior ownership and reopened under new management — verify current operating status, rates, and available amenities before visiting, as post-reopening details may differ from pre-closure operations. When operating at full capacity, the park serves all vehicle classes: ATVs, dirt bikes, side-by-sides, and full-size 4x4 vehicles.

Highland Park Off-Road Resort is a commercial off-road park in Polk County, northwest Georgia, approximately 90 minutes from Atlanta via I-20 and US-27 — one of the closer major riding destinations to the Atlanta metro area that offers genuine mountain-adjacent terrain rather than Piedmont flatland. The resort covers approximately 85 miles of riding across 40 one-way trails rated beginner to expert on Polk County's rolling Blue Ridge foothills terrain, supplemented by a 2.3-mile MXGP natural terrain motocross track and a separate PeeWee motocross track for younger riders. A vehicle class restriction distinguishes Highland Park from most peer parks: motorcycles and ATVs are the only permitted machine types — side-by-sides and UTVs of any kind are explicitly not permitted on the trail system. This restriction creates a narrower but more focused riding experience tuned to dirt bike and ATV riders who want wooded, purpose-built single and double-track rather than the wide graded corridors that UTV systems require. Five cabin rentals with kitchenettes and RV sites with water and electric hookups support overnight stays; tent camping is included at no additional charge with a day pass. Day pass rates are $35 for motorcycles and $55 for ATVs. Hours are 9am–5:30pm (trails) seven days a week, closed only on Thanksgiving and Christmas (770-748-0771).
