Cablegate Road

Cablegate Road is a loop that starts and ends at Halloway Road in the north-west part of the Etoniah Creek State Forest. The trail gives you access to several hiking trails and crosses the 10-mile horseback riding trail several times. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. ATVs are prohibited. Located just to the south of the 819-acre Georges Lake, Etoniah Creek State Forest has 491 feet of lake frontage. Three shallow creeks (Falling Branch Creek, Etoniah Creek, and Rice Creek) meander through floodplain swamps and bottomland hardwoods. A daily-use or recreational permit is required to enter the State Forest.
