Blue Ridge Mountain Biking & Hiking Trails

Summer is here, so get the family out and hit the nearby mountain trails for hiking, trail runs, and mountain biking. Here are some scenic trails that will get the heart rate up and provide some great mountain scenery.

Aska Trail and South Fork Trail and Loop ride in the nearby Cohutta National Forest just west of Blue Ridge, GA are the 2 most popular and also great hiking trails. Aska Trails are the older of the two and mostly singletrack, which requires more concentration. These Aska trails were previously hiking trails that were opened up for mountain biking.

The Stanley Gap trail is very tight near the top of Rocky Mountain, but most mountain bikers live for singletrack, so you'll love the challenge and can relax in the hot tub when you return to your mountain cabin retreat! The 2 major Aska trails are Deep Gap on Aska Road and Stanley Gap on Stanley Creek Road, which runs between the two if you have the energy and time.

In addition to the hardcore mountain biking trails, there is a short 2.3 mile beginner trial called Turkey Farm Loop just across the road. The Turkey Farm Loop is longer but is mostly a gravel trail along the Forest Service roads.
