Oconee Ranger District has only one
designated OHV trail with two
designated trailheads accessing a 16
mile loop trail. A $5 daily special
recreation permit fee is required for

comments indicate that the current fee
is both reasonable and acceptable for
this sort of unique recreation
experience. Town Creek—Roberts Bike
Camp OHV trailhead and trail will offer
a 16 mile loop trail experience and
accessible facilities such as a vault
toilet, loading ramp, designated parking,
picnic tables, trash receptacles, bulletin
