Hale Ridge is a gravel and rock road in Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest. The trail runs from FS86 (The Georgia Traverse) in the north, to Warwoman Road in the south. Hale Ridge is a basic trail and can be completed by most vehicles, but could be difficult for 2WD vehicles during inclement weather. Expect to see dense forest and the occasional deer or bear. Cell service is spotty to non-existent in the area.

Road appeared freshly graveled, largely accessible to two way traffic. Lots of downed trees in the area but all cleared along the 5 miles we drove today. Not technically challenging, 2 high the entire time
