Cohutta Wilderness Loop - Cohutta Wilderness Loop Chatsworth to Lake Conasauga to Fort Mountain A 75-miles drive that takes you from Chatsworth along the edge of the Cohutta Wilderness Area, by the Conasuaga Lake Recreation Area and campground in the Chattahoochee national Forest and to Fort Mountain Sate Park. Most of the drive is in national forest. About half of the drive is on winding, gravel Forest Service roads. Some of the way is steep. This route can be driving all year, except for occasional snows that make it necessary for the Forest Service to close roads for short periods of time. April through June is best for most flowering shrubs, trees and wildflowers. Fall leaf color begins at the higher elevations in late September. During the winter when the leaves are off the trees, the mountain views are more exposed.

Ride through the Wilderness - Ride through the Wilderness This is a 3 to 5-hour trip through a beautiful hardwood mountain forest, along the edge of a wilderness, to a beautiful secluded mountain lake. You will have the opportunity to park and actually hike (walk) in the wilderness. Make sure that vehicle is in good mechanical condition, with adequate fuel. You may want to carry some food and drink, since these cannot be purchased in the forest. You will average about 15 - 20 miles per hour on the steeper or more winding gravel Forest Service roads. These are good surfaces but somewhat rough, so reduce speed will protect your tires.
