We went to scout Unicoi State Park for down trees. Seems like they are always falling there. We have cleared all the trees 3 times in the past 3 months. Back at it yesterday. Good to go. Check out these Olympic Trails!

This is important. Time is running out. Send the Forest Service a comment asking them not to rescind the Roadless Rule. Do it now!

Please check out SORBA Main's post. Send the USDA your comment in keeping the rule unchanged. Trails in GA and NC will be impacted if they change the rule.

Hey friends! We’re getting together for a volunteer trail work day at Bull Mountain in Dahlonega to get the trails ready for the upcoming Fool’s Gold race, and we’d love to have you join us! Come meet our Billy Goat!
When: Saturday August 29, 2026 9:30 AM–1:30 PM
Where: East Dam Trail parking lot/trailhead (aka Old Gamecheck parking lot) on Winding Stair Road, FS 77
We’ll be brushing back overgrown areas on the East Dam trail, Jones Ridge trail and the dam itself. All this rain has made these areas a jungle! We have some lopper and rakes. If you have a w**d eater with a metal brush blade or a hedge trimmer, feel free to bring it along.
What to bring:
• Helmet or hard hat is required by USFS
• Water and snacks/lunch
• Personal first-aid supplies
• Eye protection recommended
• Long pants and long sleeves are a good idea, closed toed shoes, gloves
A few quick safety notes: Please leave small handheld chainsaw-like cutters at home. Bees are out this time of year, so if you’re allergic, please come prepared and bring your EpiPen.
Got questions? Shoot us an email at [email protected].
Thanks for helping keep our trails clear, safe, and fun for everyone. Hope to see you out there!

The making of The Coyote #

06/10/2026

Unicoi State Park MTB trails will soon be rideable again! Northeast Georgia SORBA is half way finished clearing the 8 miles of trees on the xc trails. Once cleared, we hope to assess the trails and make a proposal to realign the eroding fall line sections. These trails are scenic running along Smith Creek and up on the adjacent ridges. And, an Olympic qualifying race was held her in 1995, just a year before the 1996 Atlanta Olympics! Get ready to check them out.
