Chattahoochee River Road 6

Trail Overview

This 12+-mile trail runs through the Chattahoochee National Forest and weaves alongside the Chattahoochee River and several other smaller streams. The majority of the trail is wide enough for 2 full-size vehicles to pass and is maintained regularly. Some small washouts from recent rain will make the trail slow going at times, but it remains accessible to 2WD vehicles. Along this trail are opportunities for trout fishing, camping, and hiking to the plethora of amazing waterfalls.

Nice trail near Helen. Dry roads with some water holes and washouts. Not too tough, but not a smooth ride either. Enjoyed having the road mostly to ourselves. Started on the north entrance and did not encounter anyone until the Upper Chattahoochiee Campground. The southern entrance had people fishing the creek. Overall, a nice 2–hour drive.

Fun rainy Sunday afternoon drive. Great scenery. Lots of opportunities for more exploration off this route.
