"This one is good for Mt bike or hybrid. Stunningly beautiful countryside. The Shanendoah Valley of Georgia. I started at Lyerly and proceeded past Holland. Starts as Simms Mt trail and then picks up as the Pinhoti Trail. Pinhoti is actually the longest trail in GA. Saw a dozen turkey, deer and wild dogs. The old rail bed is intact and a good trestle crossing near Lyerly. I found some history of this rail line, looks like it was finally abandoned in 1981? Found an old newspaper rail schedule from the 1920's online. Train would run thru to Chattanooga daily. This trail is in the wilderness, did not see another biker or hiker all day."

"This is a beautiful trail that offers something for almost everyone. However, I wouldn't call it appropriate for wheelchairs! Sims Trail is gravel on an old railroad bed and makes good traveling for bikes. It meets the Pinhoti trail head and from there it's bike pushing time uphill to High Point.
Along Taylor ridge to Mack White Gap (Hwy 27) it is once again great for bikes. Beautiful trees, some wonderful vistas and very quiet. "
