Murray County Georgia Hiking Trails

Windy Gap Trail

Length: 4.1 miles   Rating: Strenuous

This challenging trail is steep, narrow and rocky but well worth the trip for the mountain top panoramic views of the countryside.

Beginning as a multi-purpose woods road, the trail eventually changes to a narrow, steep pathway as it climbs 2,000 feet to the top of Grassy Mountain, ending at an upper trailhead on Forest Service Road 68. Follow the trail up a narrow ridge line and ford a high mountain stream to complete the trip. Much of the trail is steep, narrow, and rocky.

Directions:

Take U.S. 411 north from Chatsworth Georgia for 4 miles. Turn right (east) at the traffic light in Eton and go about 4.3 miles. Turn left on Forest Service Road 218 (Muskrat Road) and travel 3 miles to the lower trailhead. To reach the upper trailhead, follow directions to Songbird Trail, but continue on Forest Service Road 68 an additional 0.4 mile.
