Heads up trail users! The entrance at parks and rec ball fields is closed currently. Please use the main entrance to access the trails until further notice.

The Yonah Preserve Trail System is OPEN as normal, but please avoid the unofficial trail entrance above the Yonah Preserve Sports Center, as an emergency exit road is being constructed. Come on out and enjoy Summer 2026 at our parks! :)

Stan Crane and Northeast Georgia SORBA is organizing a cleanup of downed trees at Unicoi State Park mountain bike trails. We have sawyers, but need some volunteers to assist in “swamping”, or helping clear debris as it is cut. The first work day is set for Thursday June 04. Meeting in Helen at 10:30am at Unicoi Hill parking lot and walking the Helen to Unicoi trail in to where it crosses the mountain bike trail. I know it is last minute, but is anyone available to help? If so, let me know and I can get you contact information and more details. Thanks.

Did you lose a CamelBak water bottle? It’s on the bridge on the 250 trail.
