Northern Georgia Backways Adventure Trail (NGBAT)

Self Guided NGBAT

The NGBAT forms a 550 mile adventure loop around the mountains and forests of Northern Georgia. It is a mix of back paved roads and dirt roads. The ride has many easy and hard route choices. This ride is best done as a 3 or 4 day adventure. Riders can either stay in motels or find campsites along the route. A recommended list of motels is included. As the motels in this area are inexpensive, I recommend that you travel light and leave your camping gear at home. The route map is comprised of three colored lines, Red Green and Blue. The main route is Blue and includes lots of dirt road sections and some amazing back places. There can be some challenging sections on this route. The Green route choices are mainly paved and often shortcuts. There is one tougher Red route which can add about 50 mile to your adventure.
