Back when I was stationed in Georgia we made trips to a place near Anniston Army Depot and Fort McClellan, locals called it the "power line run" or "the power lines" it was old power line right of ways that crossed an unused railroad and some closed mine pits and roads, the area ran north from Anniston up to Gadsden, the main trail was 57 miles long and had branch's off everywhere that were full of mud holes and muddy hills to climb, some of the mines had slag heaps and deep mud holes to run through. Some of the locals had a good buisiness going cruizing the trails and pulling out stuck trucks for a price, usually not very cheap, but what are ya gonna do when your looking at 3 rednecks and you suspect as soon as you leave your truck to go find help their gonna strip it to the frame.

Dont know how much of it would be open anymore I was last up there in 99.

In Bessemer, Al. there used to be a Jeep Club based out of Leo Rosser Jeep that welcomed any off-road vehicles to run with them, they had some local mud pits they ran every few weeks. Try googling "Leon Rosser" and see if they still have the club. These are the same guys that showed me the place near Anniston, Al.

There is a trail that is on the Alabama senic drives website. The wife and I went three years ago in my old truck. It's up near Ashland, Al, the first 20 miles on it are just back roads and is pretty to drive through, once you enter the Hollins WMA is when it gets fun. When I went there hadn't been much rain so the water crossings were only a few inches deep. But i'm sure there is more water there now.

Here's a link http://www.alabama.travel/activities/tours-and-trails/fall-color-trail/scenic-off-road-driving-trails-clay-county/
Gana Trail (SUV)

The final trail is Gana (Turkey) Trail. This 58-mile mostly dirt road trail allows you to ford creeks and pass through a forest and near a waterfall. This trail is for SUVs or 4-wheel drives. Don’t attempt in your everyday car or motorcycle.
