Rabun County Georgia Horse Trails
Willis
Knob
|
|
Length: 15.0 miles
Rating: Moderate
This trail provides some of the most scenic horseback riding
opportunities in the Southeast. It features both rugged mountain terrain
and views of the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River.
Winding across deeply dissected ridges, the trails descend into the
beautiful Chattooga Wild & Scenic River drainage. The Willis Knob
Trail is designed as one large 15 miles continuous loop. The trail crosses
several gravel roads, allowing you to plan trips from one half mile to the
full 15 miles.

Important: High water levels make for difficult crossings
at Adline Branch, Moss Mill, and Big Island. All are negotiable for
experienced riders at normal water levels, but Adline Branch is the
preferred crossing. Be aware of the possibility of heavy rain by checking
weather forecasts -- otherwise you might be trapped on the opposite side
of the river from your vehicle.
Directions:
Go east on Warwoman Road from Clayton for 11.6 miles. Turn right on
Forest Service Road 157 (Goldmine Road). Proceed 0.2 mile to parking area
on left.
