Trail Overview

Mudholes. More mudholes. No, really, 18 mudholes of significance. Oh, and a very pretty drive up to the top of Stonewall Knob via an offshoot. This is a nice trail with a couple of camping spots. You will need a high-clearance vehicle. We did the main trail in 2WD, though there are at least a couple of the mudholes that are pretty deep with no way to bypass them.

Difficulty

This is a solid 4/10 trail in the North Georgia mountains. This trail has 18 mudholes of significant size, with at least 2 or 3 of them being quite deep and slick on the bottom. There is one unavoidable 15-inch drop-off with a corresponding step-up on the return, forming a ledge where a root crosses the road. The road has many sections that are narrow without a place to pass, so someone will be backing up if you meet anyone else along the way.
