Dawson Forest is a well known wild life preserve with newly added MTB trails. There are three different trails ranging from 6.7 miles to 12.1 miles. All three have a wide variety of technical challenges including tough climbs and steep downhills, mud, and several creek crossings one of which is a carry across anout knee deep and even higher after a rain. These trails tend to be biker maintained- mostly singletrack which may have unexpected obst. including wildlife. If you\'re in for a challenging ride with Beautiful scenery and wildlife this is great day trip!
Dawson Forest- State park located in Dawson County on Hwy 9. You should google this and get a map if you plan on going, since directions could get a little complicated. Once you turn into the park, and go through the gates, there will be trail parking on the right with trail maps. These trails are owned by City of ATL and recommend a $5.00 donation for trail upkeep.
