As Georgia's largest Forest Service OHV system, the Houston Valley Area near Dalton offers a substantial network of approximately 22 to 25 miles of trails in a scenic, wooded setting. The system is designed to accommodate all skill levels, with all trails clearly marked by difficulty from easy to most difficult, allowing riders to choose their level of challenge. A critical safety consideration for motorcyclists is that the entire trail system is two-way, which demands heightened awareness and caution, especially on hills and in blind corners.
This trail system is managed for dry conditions only and will close, sometimes for several days, after significant rain to prevent resource damage. It is essential to call the Conasauga Ranger District's information line for the current trail status before traveling to the area. Open seasonally from April 1st through December 31st, the area requires a daily use fee which should be purchased in advance, as there is no cell service at the trailhead. The trailhead is well-equipped with paved parking, an ADA-accessible loading ramp and restroom, and drinking water.Dirt Bike Trail System
