Some of the final parts of that trail have been "cut in" and should be finalized very soon. The total mileage at this point is about 6.7 miles with roughly 316 feet of climb (according to my runkeeper app). The trail really does run through different extremes in terrain and view.
For anyone that has ridden in Ellijay, this trail compares to Ridgeway and is not anything like Bear Creek or Pinhoti Trail. The trail is a large winding loop the goes around the outer edges of the park. It runs beside the Kinchafoonee Creek, Philema Road, the animal park, the camp grounds, and through a low, swampy area and a managed forest.
I rode the trail yesterday and really thought about my previously held belief that you needed to ride in north Georgia to experience true mountain biking. However, this Chehaw trail is beginning to change my opinion on that. It's true that south Georgia is rather flat in comparison to north Georgia but we have hills of varying size that make our trails fun to ride. The new trail has some good changes in elevation with several climbs and drops.
I used Runkeeper GPS app on my phone to create the following map.
