Lower Concord - FS 1017

Trail Overview

This out-and-back trail is situated within the Oconee National Forest and features a typical terrain for the area--primarily gravel with intermittent water and mud holes along the route. At the southern end of the trail, there is a large turnaround area. Beyond this point, the trail continues but narrows significantly into a single-lane dirt and mud path, eventually ending at a downed tree. While there are a few muddy sections, they generally have a solid base and do not present major obstacles. However, space for turning around is limited, and there are minimal scenic features beyond the main turnaround point. These trails in this area are open to licensed highway vehicles only.

From there, the trail narrows significantly and transitions to dirt and mud, with a few unavoidable mud pits that must be crossed to proceed. While these sections currently have a solid base, increased vehicle traffic may cause them to become less stable over time.
