6-2-2024: We came in from Lake Winfield Scott on FSR 33, then north on FSR 33A. Up to this point is was an easy FSR, then came the climb up to Duncan Ridge Road. It was a cliffside rocky crawl most of the way. Was it difficult, not for a Bronco Sasquatch in 4 high. Was it technical, yeah, unless you like driving off high cliffs.
Now with that said, it was really an adventure because it was pouring down rain socked in with clouds and fog. We didn't see much, but it was an adventure.
We'll be back!

Spanning the ridge across the Coopers Creek Wildlife Management Area, just north of Suches, Georgia, lies Duncan Ridge Road. This scenic mountain trail overlooks the valley to the south and runs the ridges of several mountains such as Wildcat Knob, Coosa Bald and Buckeye Knob. With access to four popular hiking trails - , , and - and some good secluded camping areas, Duncan Ridge Road is a great addition to any trip through the mountains." TrailsOffroad
