Nimblewill Gap OHV Road in Dahlonega, Georgia, is a notable off-highway vehicle (OHV) road that offers a unique hiking opportunity. The trail is located in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest, providing a direct route through dense forests and over rolling hills. The trail is moderately difficult, with some steep inclines and rocky terrain, making it suitable for hikers with some experience. The trail is known for its proximity to Nimblewill Creek, a small, clear stream that hikers can follow for a portion of the trail. The creek is home to a variety of local wildlife, adding an element of interest to the hike. Additionally, the trail passes by several notable rock formations, providing unique landmarks for hikers to navigate by. Hikers should be aware that the trail can be muddy and slippery after rain, so appropriate footwear is recommended.
