Forks Area Trail System (FATS)

This is an amazing set of trails to go hiking or biking. The parking is plenty and easy to find. Also restrooms at the beginning of hike. The trails are well kept and easily labeled so choose your challenge. All trails are loops so they’ll bring you back where you started.

Southern Fork

Deep Step - 5 miles
Great Wall - 7.5 miles
Skinny - 6 miles
Brown Wave - 5.8

Great trails! But beware of snakes! Almost stepped on this rattlesnake crossing the path 😬

If you are in the area, it is definitely worth the trip. Very nice trail system that is well maintained.

Best in the area. We rotate ride all the trails and have enjoyed them all so far. I'd say great wall and big Rock are the best imo but go out and see them for yourself.

Always enjoy walking FATS trails. It's 2.5 miles to Browns Wave Loop and then the loop is about 5.8 miles.

Nice, clean trail. Range of trail options to choose from according to hiker's abilities is accommodating to all hikers, beginners to experts. Great for mountain biking as well. New and clean bathrooms. Nicely maintained. Will bring my family again and again! My only suggestion is to be sure to bring water with you as there are no water fountains along the trails.

The trails are maintained and marked well. There's plenty of parking, even on weekends. All of the hikers and bikers were friendly and considerate. Great experience!

Great trails and lots of them

Coming from Knoxville's mountain scene, I had low expectations of the Augusta area. I'll keep this short by saying that there is absolutely no lack of challenge or terrain at FATS. This place is incredible. Be sure you pack any maintenance items that you might need along the trail, given that many are 5-8 miles in distance.

Amazing place to ride. Trails are fast and flowy with many options for routes and mileage.

Awesome place to go mountain biking!

Trails were well marked, well maintained, and properly laid out. Rode the Brown Wave and Skinny. 12.2 miles of fantastic riding. Fall colors were an added bonus.

Fantastic set of trails! We were here from out of state and hiked since we didn't have our bikes, but these are some seriously awesome trails. We don't have anything like this back home.

Awesome mountain bike trails. The brown wave is really fun ride!

Love FATS! This time I was there for the FATS 50k. Very well organized! Nathan and his team knocked out of the park---or trail lol. Will be back next year!

Unbelievably flowy fantastic trails. Just enough twists and swoops to keep you on your toes.

Lovely spot to walk through the woods!

Love these trails. Beautiful scenery and a great workout whether you're running, biking, or walking.

37 miles of trails maintained by the local mountain bike association in National Forest Service land. Open to bikers, hikers, runners and dogs. Excellent trail system!

We found a watch hiking the skinny trail 8-15-19. It’s a series 2. If it’s yours, pls comment below. I will use the password to confirm it’s yours and then we can figure out how to get it back to you.
