Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest
Ocmulgee Bluff Equestrian Trailhead is the jumping-off point for the Ocmulgee River Horse, Bike, and Hiking Trail. This area has parking for many vehicles and horse trailers and can accommodate large groups of riders. The trail generally follows the Ocmulgee River but does veer away from the river on some recently added loops. This trail is the compilation of several smaller loop trails that comprise nearly 30 miles of riding, biking, and hiking adventure and pleasure.
