About this place

Open year round, Frady Branch is the ideal location for your next mountain bike trip, hike, or horseback ride. With 14.5 miles of trails to explore, there's something here for everyone to enjoy! Leashed pets are also welcome. Conveniently located between the towns of Cornelia and Toccoa, and only 45 minutes from Gainesville, Frady Branch offers visitors the chance to escape from the city and enjoy peace and solitude at this relatively quiet trail system. Hunting is also a popular activity given the easy access from Frady Branch trailhead to the Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area. Visitors should refer to the GA DNR website for hunting and fishing regulations and seasons: https://georgiawildlife.com/hunting/hunter-resources ATVs and UTVs are not allowed on U.S. Forest Service roads.
