Beasley Knob OHV Area

The Beasley Knob OHV Trail System is a challenging trail system
located off of U.S. Highway 76 in Union County, GA. It is conveniently
located two miles east of the town of Blairsville and can be accessed by two
trailheads. The system provides approximately 10.6 miles of recreational
riding for OHV enthusiasts , including those riding four-wheel drive
vehicles, motorcycles and ATVs. The system is made up of interconnecting
dirt trails, rock hill climbs and gravel roads through the Chattahoochee
National Forest. It is recommended for experienced riders, only, due to its
challenging terrain and steep ascents. Please, no bolted, studded or tire
chains allowed. The Beasley Knob Trails are open from sunrise to sunset.

SFWDA continues to work with the USFS to help maintain and manage the trail system. There
are two trailhead areas to enter the trail system. Both have parking areas. Remember this system
is closed January 2 until March 19th each year as part of the management of the system.

Satterfield Trailhead- Beginning on US 76/Highway 515 in front of the Blairsville Post Office,
go east for 0.7 mile. Turn right onto Windy Hill Road, a paved road. At 0.7 mile when Windy
Hill curves sharply to the left, go straight onto a gravel road. After 0.1 mile, turn left onto
a narrow gravel road, Forest Service Road #851. Continue 0.8 mile to the OHV trail system
parking lot.
Blue Rock Trailhead- Beginning on US 76/Highway 515 in front of the Blairsville Post Office,
go east for 3.4 miles. Turn right just before two large propane tanks onto Rosemary Lane,
which is also Forest Service Road #93. At the first fork, go left. At the second fork go right.
Follow the road to the parking lot at the end, a total of 1.6 miles.
