Trail Overview
Pines Chapel (FS 1044) is a 1.3-mile out-and-back trail through the Cedar Creek Wildlife Management Area, which is part of the Oconee National Forest. The trail is packed clay and dirt with a gravel topper, making for an easy drive. The road actually ends just short of where the MVUM shows the end and is marked by a Closed to Vehicles sign. There is also a short open trail, FS 1044a, near the end of FS 1044. The trail passes through private property at the beginning and again at about the midpoint. Please be respectful of private property and stay on the trail. Only highway-licensed vehicles are allowed on this trail.
