Trail Overview

Holcomb Creek runs through the Chattahoochee National Forest and connects Billingsley Creek (FS 86B) to Hale Ridge on the Georgia Traverse. This trail is mostly natural with some gravel. It is a single-vehicle wide trail with several places to pass or turn around. After heavy rains, there are a few large mudholes about 12 inches deep with hard bottoms. I had 2 bars of service (AT&T) most of the time. There are two campsites, both with fire rings. One is large enough for a group of 4 to 5 rigs and is creekside.

Nice lightly used FR with a few dispersed campsites, also with a connection to the Bartman Trail that will take you to 3 waterfalls.
