Grid Loop Road

Trail Overview

Grid Loop Road 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 . Grid Loop Road is a red clay/sand and dirt road mix. There are areas of deep ruts and wet sticky mud. The trail is mostly one vehicle wide. The trail moves through wide open cuts that abut deep, soft dirt/mud or tilled soils. Pulling off to allow passing will require a high-clearance 4WD. Navigating through segments of mud and ruts also requires high clearance 4WD. The trail has a series of switchbacks and whoops with the grades and elevations change. Following rain, snow melt, or storms, trail conditions may worsen and become more impassable. There is the potential of water crossings, standing water, or mud greater than 12 inches. These conditions may make the trail impassable for most low-clearance or 2WD vehicles.
