Itinerary: | |||||||
Fort Yargo State Park features 18 miles of scenic mountain biking and hiking trails that surround its beautiful 260-acre lake. The park is a convenient 45-minute drive from NE Atlanta (see directions below). We'll be riding the 12 mile outer (blue) loop at an intermediate pace. Some riding experience is recommended for this ride, as well as a mountain bike (suspension optional). This loop includes at least one long climb (the "gas-line"), some fun "whoop-de-doos" and enough roots to keep you looking for that smooth line! Overall, we'd rate the outer trail as pure intermediate, with enough elevation change to keep your heart pumping and optional technical features to keep you interested. Comparable GA trails include the "Blankets Creek Dwelling" loop near Woodstock and the "Chicopee" main loop near Gainesville. PARK FEATURES & SPECIAL NOTES: | |||||||
