Edwards Road

Trail Overview

Located near Franklin, Georgia, in Heard County, this rural county-maintained road is one of the West Point Wildlife Management Area (WMA) entrances. While publicly accessible, it is not a priority route for resurfacing and can become challenging during or after wet weather. Roughly 300 yards from GA State Highway 27, the road crosses a small creek, with another crossing on the opposite end. About one mile in, you'll reach a gated entrance to the WMA, providing access to additional trails open only during hunting season. For seasonal access details and regulations, visit: georgiawildlife.com/west-point-wma.This. This road features multiple muddy sections and water holes, making for a fun but messy drive in wet conditions. Just before the WMA gate, a low-lying area may flood or wash out during heavy rain, so extra caution is advised. This road continues until it connects with Thompson Road.

Difficulty

This road is primarily dirt and can become very muddy and slick during wet or rainy seasons, with the potential for shallow water crossings. While it is mostly wide enough for two vehicles, it does narrow in certain areas. To help reduce washouts, many of the rougher sections have been reinforced with asphalt millings; however, drivers should still proceed with caution, especially in poor weather conditions.
