Renegades Amicalola Ride

February 21, 1998


The Renegade 4WD Club visited Amicalola Falls State Park in north Georgia for the first time in a long time in Feburary 1998. Once we found the entrance to the trails, we found dirt roads that had a lot of potential 4WD trails running off them. We only explored a small part and will return for more explorations.

We don't have a lot of pictures. We spent a lot of time looking at maps and GPS units to make sure we weren't getting lost. Thanks to Chad Collins for taking these pictures.

Lined up and waiting in the middle of the ride. The red CJ-7 (it's now yellow and has had a major rebuild) belongs to Barron Cain. The black CJ-7 belongs to Stefan Roth.

We found a lot of deeeeeep water holes on these trails. This one is being experienced by Barron.

There were a few small stream crossings, well hidden in the dark forest.

Stefan Roth on a mild off camber spot in the trail. It looked worse than it actually was, except for the steep dropoff into a creek bed.

This gully was the exit to the highway. It was very washed out, because it apparently served as the drainage for the highway. Challenging!

Amicalola Falls are about 800 feet tall and quite a sight to see, especially when you are closer to them and walking up the steep path along the falls.



Thank you for visiting!!!
