Trail Overview
Beginning at the northeast end of FS600-2 and traveling southwest, this service road is packed with dirt filled with irregular rocks, making for a rough ride if not airing down. The first couple of miles are similar before reaching the first of the washouts. Washouts are 1 to 3 feet deep and are avoidable in some places while unavoidable in others. The midpoint crosses pavement at Gunter's Rock Rd. and continues in the same direction; the lower half has more washouts, which are more challenging, where a spotter will benefit. The area inside Talladega Forest, near Cheaha State Park, is heavily wooded offering many hiking trails like the very popular Pinhoti Trail which runs 326 miles northeast into north Georgia. Traffic is light, with the occasional local sometimes gaining access from adjoining private gated roads.
