Bull Mountain
Review by Pam Rubenstein
Voted in 1998 as the #1 Trail in Georgia by "Outside" magazine and is definitely for the advanced rider. Both technical and beautiful, Bull Mountain is filled with stream crossings, waterfalls and long up-hill climbs. Part of the Nimblewill Area of the Chattahoochee National Forest, there are also other trails located here.
Fees: $2 if you park in the lot at the beginning of the trailhead, but there are other parking lots nearby that are free of charge.
Hours of operation: 24-hours-a-day/Sun.-Sat.
How to get there: Take GA 400 North towards Dahlonega. GA 400 becomes US 19 -- take US 19 to Dahlonega. Get on GA 52 West in Dahlonega. Turn left Nimblewill Church Rd. Turn right onto FS 28. Go about one-half mile and turn left onto FS 83. Go about 2 miles and you'll see several bike parking areas. The trailhead starts at that point.
