Timpson Creek / Racepath

Trail Overview

Timpson Creek/Racepath Trail, also know as FR 162/31, connects US 76 at the south end and Persimmon Road at the north end. That trail takes you along the Timpson Creek up to the Oakey Mountain. There are several hiking trails along the road. The trail is a gravel forestry road with some soft sand spots that can turn into mud holes after heavy rain and 2-3 feet deep obstacles, potholes, and rifts. The road is narrow and not wide enough for two vehicles to pass. The middle part is very steep, narrow, and includes several creek crossings. 4WD and High-Clearance are highly recommended. All vehicles must be street-legal. The Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest provides the finest outdoor recreation opportunities and natural resources in Georgia. Featuring nearly 867,000 acres across 26 counties, thousands of miles of clear-running streams and rivers, approximately 850 miles of recreation trails, and dozens of campgrounds, picnic areas, and other recreation activity opportunities, these lands are rich in natural scenery, history, and culture. The Chattachoochee-Oconee National Forest offers a variety of activities such as camping, OHV riding, boating and target shooting. While many of these activities are free, passes or permits may be required at certain recreation sites to help maintain, manage, and improve the facilities: https://www.fs.usda.gov/conf
