Overview

Just east of Cornelia lies Red Root Road. The main route through the Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area - a 17,000+ acre area known for primitive camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing - this trail is one of only three trails in the area that is open year round. Red Root Road runs along the Middle Fork Broad River for part of the way and then passes between Allen Mountain and Farmers Mountain for some outstanding views. With so many activities, Red Root Road is a great place to explore while out in the mountains.
