Trails edit
The trails at Whissenhunt extend for 11.2 miles[2] over a 1 square mile area or 700 acres[3] and are all different. The cordinates are N 34° 35.868' W 84° 02.696'. Most are narrow and meant for dirtbikes, but some are wide enough for 2-way traffic. All trails are for motorcycles and atv's, 3-wheel or 4-wheel. Trails are marked with their route number but are not one-way only trails. Users are all required to stay on marked trails to prevent damage to the surrounding land and resources.[4] Trails range from not difficult to most difficult. All trails are marked either novice terrain, amateur terrain, or expert terrain. Most trails are for amateur riders but there are some for novice and expert riders as well. There are minimal hazards along the trails. Elevation of the trails ranges from 1400ft to 2000ft above sea level.[5]
