Well man, its stuff like this that is starting to kill me lately. You have a legitimate question and not one person is able to help you out from that part of the country. I wish I had some knowledge of the area but I don't. So, I did a google search for you and found this, hope it helps and comes in handy...

I appreciate the post. I have been google searching the shit outta anything to do with 4x4 or off road in this part.. found a bunch of georgia park trails funded by the state but nothing more than that. All the forums and off road clubs here require a membership, basically money to have anything to do with them. Hope someone from the south can help me out!
Against thanks a lot!

I hate to say it but public access in the east is very limited and we are losing it fast. Private run off-road areas are starting to pop up to take advantage of the need, but large tracks of land are hard to come by and legal challenges and/or environmental requirements are prohibitive. That leave your only option for legal wheeling as knocking on a farmers door and asking for access to his filed roads. Wile that was never an issue when I was a kid, good luck these days. And fat chance any stranger is going to give you directions to farmer Joe's place out of Rt. 4 because Joe is a great guy and will let most anyone on his land.
I know that If I knew a farmer Joe, I'm not going to risk you tearing up his road or filed and pissing him off. No sir, I'm going to keep my mouth shut and wish you the best of luck. It's a bad deal, I know it. I'm looking for a farmer Joe too, but do us all a favor and stay , stay on the trail.

I was just saying that I don't have any place to go wheeling myself. It's two hours to the nearest public trail. It's 3 hours to any off road park. I have been asking around, trying to find someone that knows of some trails, but so far, no one is willing to share.
Sorry about the end of that last post, I was getting frustrated myself. I grew up in a rural area. Dirt bikes, jeeps, hunting and mudding where big parts of my childhood. Now I'm in suburb right in the middle of D.C and Baltimore, and I hate it.

Where are you in GA? River Rock comes to mind... Whats wrong with joining a club? You shouldn't wheel alone anyway. I don't have much experience with any off road groups other than yota guys, but all of them have been very nice and helpful. Most of them don't mind having "others" around either, so long as you can handle being the "other" guy. TTORA is a good place to look, at very least use their site to find trails. Most of the trails I went to were in NC and are now closed to wheeling.

Hey there! I live just West of Downtown Atlanta. Have you been out to Durham Town? I havent been out there yet, but it looks good. There is a place called Windrock/ Coal Creek in Tennessee. Most of the clubs and trails in GA are geared towards jeeps or rock crawling. South of Atlanta there are plenty of public roads that are dirt or gravel, you can drive all day on them, but they will have a speed limit.
There are some great roads and trails all around the Chattahoochee National forest and around amicalola falls (think i spelled that properly). It is about an hour up GA 400 around dawsonville. Your best bet is to go to REI and get a map of the Chattahoochee National forest. The map has all the trails and dirt roads mapped out including what is just a dirt road and what roads are for 4x4s. The only thing you have to be careful about up there is some of the trails are pretty narrow. With the extra width in this truck expect to get some scratches on the side. But hey battle scars right. Some of the trails have some nasty rock crawling as well. Just be careful and walk it out first. Try to take a friend as well incase you get stuck. Some of the roads you might not see anyone for a day or so. So if you dont have a winch (not refering to wifes) i would recommend looking into one.
