Guard Camp Road

About halfway between Cornelia and Toccoa lies Guard Camp Road. This trail is the northern main entrance to the Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area, a 17,000+ acre area known for primitive camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing. One of only three trails in the area open year round, Guard Camp Road is the connector road from the northern entrance game check station all the way down to Red Root Road. With superb hunting access, hiking trail access, and primitive camping, Guard Camp Road is a great place to explore while out for a day or weekend in the mountains.
