Three Forks is part of the Cohutta Wilderness Area loop. It is mostly gravel with sections of embedded rock. This section of the loop includes older-growth hardwood trees that make a dense canopy for most of the route, so thick you will see plenty of moss growing on the trunks of the trees you pass by. As a bonus, this road has the Mountaintown Overlook, which gives expansive views of the valley below and ridgelines off in the distance. Several dispersed campsites can be found along this section of the loop. Most of this road is closed from January - March.
