Be careful in Cashes Valley, a lot of private property in there with not very nice owners. A few years ago there were several side roads and mudholes that land owners ended up putting boards with nails in and pieces of rebar.

There are alot of FS roads between Morganton and Suches GA that are nice to travel around and camp on. Rock Creek RD and Coopers Creek.

Honestly there isn't a whole lot there anymore. You do forge the river but its just to get to more private property mostly. I would shoot more toward the FS areas up toward Suches and Blairsville, GA. Biggest thing to be careful of there is respecting the area and not tearing it up and making sure you don't get off the FS roads because the Federal Officer(s) up here don't play.

I did Beasley Knob back in November. It was wet and slick! This summer I want to do the Traverse. I have heard about some other trails up there in that area.

Hey oh I’m live in north Atlanta. Not much but forest service road in north Georgia but a great way to get lost and enjoy nature. A lot of great camp grounds and hiking with having easy access to the AT. Not much hardcore wheeling but that’s not what overlanding is about. Georgia traverse is a great way to start exploring north Georgia

Nimblewill area is good. Lake Dockery is nice as well. As Chancy said, Blairville and Suches have some very pretty spots. Not a ton of sites to camp but most are very pretty. I've been running up against a lot of trash being left behind in a bunch of areas we go. There seems to be far more ppl out on the trails since Covid hit and I guess don't subscribe to the "pack it in, pack it out" rule. It's really disappointing to run up on a really nice site and you have to spend your first hour there picking up other folks used toilet paper.
