Pine Island Road

The Pine Island Road connects GA-62 at the north end and the Seven Bridge Road at the south end. The trail gives you access to the Mike Commander Shooting Range at the Chickasawhatchee Wildlife Management Area. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2 feet deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance is recommended. All vehicles must be street-legal. Chickasawhatchee Wildlife Management Area is located 12 miles southwest of Albany, Georgia. The 19,700-acre WMA includes the Mike Commander Shooting Range, a managed dove field, and campsites for tents and RVs. The property is a managed pine savannah that supports varied hunting opportunities, including for deer, turkey, dove, quail, small game, waterfowl, and furbearers. Bird watchers will also find a number of different species at Chickasawhatchee. A permit is required to enter. You can purchase these at www.GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com.
