Fightingtown Creek Nature Park Mountain Biking Trails

The Southeastern Trust for Parks and Land, Inc. (SE Trust), Georgia Cycling Association, and MTB Atlanta are in the process of developing a park and nature preserve project on 190 acres of natural land located +/- 3 miles west of Blue Ridge, GA. The property is wholly owned without debt or obligation by SE Trust.

The site will eventually include +/- 10 miles of natural surface multi-use hiking & biking trails, disc golf course, community picnic area, apiary, nature based interpretive signage, native plants, and wildlife supportive items. It is free for public use. Construction began in early 2022.

The trail project will be built in two phases. The first phase includes +/- 5 miles of mountain bike optimized trail biased towards use for Georgia Cycling League practices and for riders of all abilities and experience. The second phase will have more technical aspects. Downhill runs and bike park elements are aspirational elements.

The preserve and park is supported by the Friends of Fightingtown Creek Nature Park (FCNP). This group is a standing committee of SE Trust. The group’s activities include volunteer site maintenance and improvement; organizing special events at the site; fundraising for the group’s activities and projects; and input on the site’s ongoing usage and development. The local cycling community will provide volunteer support for the trails system: Georgia Cycling League local teams, SORBA, North Georgia Mountain Bike Club, Blue Mountain Bikes (Blue Ridge), and Cartecay Bikes (Ellijay).
