Flat Hole Loop

Trail Overview

Flat Hole Loop runs through the southeastern quadrant of the Chickasawhatchee Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Only street-legal, registered, and licensed vehicles are permitted. Additionally, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR) requires individuals to be in possession of the Georgia Lands Pass when entering or accessing state WMA's. GADNR accepts all valid Georgia hunting or fishing licenses in lieu of the Lands Pass. This applies to both residents and non-residents. Purchasing a fishing or hunting license in most cases is less expensive than the Lands Pass. Licenses and the Lands Pass can be purchased through GADNR's website at www.gooutdoorsgeorgia.com or using the following link to the licensing page. https://license.gooutdoorsgeorgia.com/Licensing/CustomerLookup.aspx . Flat Hole Loop varies between a gravel trail and one of red clay/sand. The eastern portion of the trail starts off as a loose granite gravel trail. This remains for approximately the first two and a half miles. Then the trail transitions into red clay/sand. The clay/sand can be loose and soft or hard and compacted. Following rain, snow melt, and storms, deep pockets of clay or mud may be encountered. In addition to the mud and clay, there is the potential of water crossings or standing water up to 12 inches. These conditions may make the trail impassable for most low-clearance or 2WD vehicles. When conditions are dry, it can be traveled with most low-clearance or 2WD vehicles. The trail is mostly single vehicle wide with areas to pull to the side for passing.
