No legal trails known down that way.  The only park, River Rock at Milledgeville, closed years ago. 

Head to Durhamtown Plantation, or over to Morris Mtn in AL.

There is a lot of dirt road in the National forest land by the Ocmulgee river south of Jackson Lake.  I used to go there from Covington GA a few times a year before I knew about ORV parks.  Look on google maps etc....  THis is east and south of Atlanta.  Its just forest service roads but its legal.  Take highway 16 from Griffin / Jackson and enter in a Concord church road.  You can make your way south to Juliette, hug the river.  There is even a great redneck swimming hole in there.  Then come back up on the highway to Indian Springs its a nice drive.

Nice. Thanks for the info. Are they mostly paved roads? And ditches or hills?

It's easy driving well maintained dirt and some gravel forest service roads.
