Quick Guide to mountain biking

Sope Creek
Review by Pam Rubenstein
To locals this area is known as "The Hooch." With lots of rocks and technical jumps this trail can be very challenging -- especially on the weekend when it's crowded with other bikers and hikers.
Fees: $3/day for general parking
Hours of operation: Seasonal;
Summer (Mar.15 - Oct.31) 7 a.m.-Dark, Winter (Nov. 1 - Mar.14) 7 a.m.-Dark
How to get there: Take GA 400 northbound take Abernathy exit. Turn left on Abernathy. Go about two miles on Abernathy to Johnsons Ferry Road and turn right. Go over the river and turn left onto Paper Mill road. Go about two miles and turn left into the parking lot -- look for the brown and white Chatahoochee River National Recreation Area signs.
