MTB trails close to Lake Burton/Clayton, Ga

[dallasweb]

I'm planning a trip to Ga mountains this summer and hoping to find some good trails in the Lake Burton, Clayton, Ga area. I found a few on mtbr.com but not really sure about town names, trail names, etc.

Anything within an hour of that area is preferred. Thanks in advance for the info!

Buy this book, 'Mountain Biking Georgia' by ex-SORBA president Alex Nutt.

http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Biking-Georgia-Alex-Nutt/dp/1560446471/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-2557757-5751657?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181586492&sr=8-2

Each trail has tons of information (distance, time to complete, fitness level, technical level, highlights, etc.) and each area of Georgia has many types of trails to pick from (easy, medium, hard + short, long).

Another great book is 'Off the Beaten Track: North Georgia' by Jim Parham:

I liked the maps is this one better. It's small, and fits in a jersey pocket, but that gets old after a while. :)

I used these for a trip up to Amicalola Falls (Bull Mountain) and had a lot of fun.
