Clockwise M-W-F-Su counterclockwise T-T-Sa Park across from tennis courts, signs show trailheads $3 parking fee (free on wednesdays) Remember hikers have right of way on the lakeshore trails. more on trails.mtbr.com

Also, I hope that the park won't be sullied or dirtied by increased tourism as Atlanta's metropolitan area extends further in that direction. more on Epinions.com

Despite being within relatively close proximity to a major city, however, Fort Yargo State Park still possesses the quiet serenity of the country. more on Epinions.com

Recommended Route: Overall a great trail system. more on trails.mtbr.com
