Water Gauge Road - FS 511

This is an out-and-back trail that follows a relatively easy, mostly single-lane gravel and dirt road through scenic sections of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Along the route, you may encounter a few small washouts and water/mud puddles typical of Forest Service roads. However, there are no major obstacles, and most vehicles should be able to travel the road without difficulty. Just over halfway along the route, you will reach a fork in the road. Stay to the right to remain on the main trail. The area is quiet and remote, with minimal traffic and natural surroundings that make for a relaxing drive or exploration. Cell phone service can be sporadic or unavailable, so it is recommended to plan ahead and bring any supplies you may need in case of an emergency. There are several good dispersed camping areas along the trail.
