Branchwater Trail

This one-mile in-and-back single-lane trail within the Chattahoochee National Forest begins with a downhill of packed dirt and gravel with occasional rock ledges, ruts, washouts, and dips that have the potential to hold several inches of water after rain. There are three water crossings over Bearpen Branch, Baker Branch, and Rock Creek, plus one small stream crossing. This is a great spot to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature after a day of off-roading through the nearby Rock Creek OHV Park, as there are several opportunities for dispersed camping, picnicking, fishing, views of wildlife feeding fields, and handmade campfire benches along the route. Clearance is required throughout, along with the use of occasional 4WD, as the terrain can change with the weather conditions. The trail dead ends after the fourth crossing with a clear barrier along the trail.
