The Tellico ATV Trail System has 12 fun and very challenging trails that are very popular with ATVers from all over the country.
To get to these ATV trails, if coming from Atlanta, take I-575 north and it will turn into Hwy 5, follow to North Carolina and follow the signs to Murphy. You will come to the business loop into downtown, follow that, then take a left onto Tennessee St. This turns into Joe Brown Rd. Continue to the blinking light and take a right onto Hanging Dog Rd. Stay on this all the way to Davis Creek Rd. Take a right on Davis Creek Rd. then this road will turn into gravel and eventually turn into Trail 1. You will be about 3-miles from the staging area.
This trail system has everything you are looking for in a fun ATV ride, very deep and steep areas, with lots of rocky sections to take your ATV up and over. The thrill of the ride is right here.
There is a creek crossing on one of the ATV trails, where camping out would be perfect. Just keep in mind, there are lots of rocky areas, and when wet, can become very slippery, if you aren't experienced navigating your ATV over slippery terrain, make sure you have someone experienced to show you the ropes of safe handling of your ATV.
Speaking of safety, make sure you do a complete pre-ride check on your ATV. The last thing you want is a mechanical break down of some kind. Make sure you take a simple tool kit with you as well- the smallest most insignificant screw or spark plug can save your day of ATV riding.
A helmet is required but don't forget your goggles, boots and gloves. You will be doing some hard holding of the grips. Keep safety, common sense, and alertness a part of your ATVing, and you are guaranteed to have an awesome time riding these ATV trails.
