Here is a list of trails in the Jackrabbit Mountain Trailhead area. For more information and a map (where available), click the trail name.
Burnt Tree Peninsula
Blaze Color: Green
USGS/USFS Number: 753
Some tight and sharp turns; some whoop-te-do's near the beginning. Travels through a young forest of mostly pines and oaks; looks recently burned.
Burrell Cove
Blaze Color: Red
USGS/USFS Number: 756
Lots of dirt jumps (whoop-te-dos) and small unavoidable technical features. No major climbs; only a few ups-and-downs. Provides access to SABA Beach.
Central Loop
Blaze Color: Yellow
USGS/USFS Number: 750
No unavoidable obstacles. All-access trail to other optional trails. Provides glimpses of the lake at times but the side trails take you closer. Mostly smooth singletrack with a few sections on reclaimed logging roads. The steepest section - although not terribly so - is to the left if you're coming from the parking lot to the first junction. So recommended direction is counterclockwise to make that downhill - although you can ride it either way.
High Point
Blaze Color: Orange
USGS/USFS Number: 755
Steeper trail with more rocks than others at Jackrabbit Mountain. Winds around the top of the hill - even though it looks like a trail with a loop attached on the map, the sides don't actually join (they're about 5 feet apart) and it is a single trail. Nice view from the top. Has a few optional trail features with ride-arounds.
SABA Beach
Blaze Color: Red/White
USGS/USFS Number: 757
Narrow, tight, twisting thru pine trees. Nearly level. Provides access to SABA Beach. Highly recommended if you're on Burrell Cove.
Sneaking Creek
Blaze Color: Brown
Open and flowing "lollipop" loop with a few short climbs and descents, a covered bridge, and optional features. Longest trail at Jackrabbit Mountain. At the "tip" of the loop, you're only about 1/10 mile north of the GA state line.
Upper Ridge
Blaze Color: Yellow
Small obstacles such as rock crossings and tighter turns. Has a few short climbs and descents. You'll hear other hikers and riders below you on the Central Loop, which is not far down the slope from you at most times.
Yotee's Run
Blaze Color: Blue
Great views. Has a bit more ups-and-downs and rocky areas than some of the other trails. Travels through some neat, open woods on the east side of the hill. Seems to get less use, so it's a bit narrower too. Provides access to High Point trail.
