Off-roading in Georgia?

GA DOT Maps
There are tabs on the left for viewing "county" maps, and for "map orders."
Enjoy

EDIT - Found this for TENN: Maps
No matter where you live, you can probably find maps by searching google for "county maps *your state*" - look for websites with .gov or .us
Also, going down to the planning department of your local county building might be able to yield some fullsize maps if you can't find a gov link to order them (I couldn't for TENN).

yessir thanks. i went to that site before its just confusing trying to find just forest service roads
 
That's a good point, those maps are really busy if you don't know what you're looking for.
All the Forestry roads are marked as "FS *#*" so that helps. I'd say any road marked as "unpaved" could be worth a look. I like to look for places where creeks cross the roads, but that's because I like water crossing in general.
You could also cross reference with other maps and Google Earth, but, again, that takes time and effort, but I like maps so I just need more time.
 
Problem solved! I found a website called Georgia Overland that has most of the stuff in Georgia already marked. I can tell some stuff is missing, but that's ok. I'd also recommend just looking around at his site because there are updates on a separate link.

The roads are also given a rating system and info if you click on the individual roads on the map, but I would say their rating system is a bit understated because some roads with creek crossings are marked as "3 - SUITABLE FOR PASSENGER CARS."
No matter, that website makes finding Georgia trails much easier. The site operator also notes that if anybody knows legal trails in GA, NW SC, SW NC, SE TENN and NE AL they are welcome to send him some info to be added to the database.

great site maybe i can get out and explore
 
If you guys go then count me in. I live in Kennesaw and have been looking for an opportunity to see what the truck can do. It is 2wd so I'd need to be pulled out if i get stuck, only reason i haven't done anything too hard.

I am on Expo Passionate about Expedition and there are alot of guys that go to Amicalola Falls in North Georgia. You can also go to Prentice Cooper and Signal Mountain near Chattanooga and there is also a couple of nice OHV parks near Birmingham, AL. One is Grey Rock in Gardendale, AL and Stony Lonesome in Cullman which is about 40 miles north of Bham.

I was gonna say that. The Georgia folks on that forum have a pretty active group down there. They are also planning a regional overland rally down there in May or June.
 
Yeah, I'm not going anywhere. Too many geniuses around here driving the same way they would if there wasn't snow and ice. I saw a guy in a wrangler do a 180 driving down a curved downhill road -crazy stuff.
Then there's also a bunch of even more brilliant guys doing dumb stuff on purpose.

My truck's sitting in its parking spot with a good lot of snow on it, and it'll stay that way until all the ice goes away - which at this rate will be maybe March.
They're also throwing around some salt in the roads, so I'm definitely not going to risk any rust.

Sorry if I sound like a baby to any northerners or westerners, but, first of all, I'm more afraid of the other drivers than anything else, second, I'm from Florida and I've driven in snowy conditions once in a rental in Tahoe - I did fine, but I'm not taking any chances with my truck.

I'll be relo'ing to the Ranger area in a week or so, would love to get together with you guys, plenty of FS roads in that area from what I see...

Not sure exactly what my 4R can handle, LTD 4wd V6, bone stock

Actually was up there for the snow, cursed the fact that we had flown in and had a stupid ford escape for a rental....really wished i'd had my 4R there
