The Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area is a 20,900-acre nature preserve. It is mostly mountainous, with several peaks within its borders. There are many hiking trails and dirt roads available for you to enjoy.

Noontoola Road is an 8-mile dirt and gravel road that winds it way up a ridge along Alec Mountain. The way up is not too steep, so it is a great alternative way to get to the Appalachian Trail and Rich Mountain.

Doublehead Gap Road crosses the Toccoa River which flows through this mountainous region. The road is never far away from the river landscape surrounded by lush forests.

The Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery is a free amenity to the public of northern Georgia. If you get tired of pedaling pavement, you can hop off the bike for a second to check out the trout pools within the hatchery.

The Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area is a nearly 21,000-acre property with offerings of hunting lands, hiking trails, forest roads, and US Forest Service managed facilities. All the roads and trails within the property boundaries are managed by the Forest Service and are top-notch facilities. This is a great place to rip some dirt and gravel roads while creating different sized loops. You have lots of tire choices (depending on your comfort and ability levels) when riding out here.

In the area around Edmonson Branch Trailhead, riders should have a view of the ridge leading to and summit of Greasy Mountain, off to the east-northeast.

Blue Ridge Road skirts the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area, and depending on the time of year and thickness of foliage, offers some impressive views of the peaks to the south and east.
