see http://www.georgia-atclub.org/directions.html - recommend alternative using Roy Road even though it is longer for the way you are going

The directions Hog On Ice posted are good directions. I used them the first time I drove to the Springer lot on FS42. I would recommend going in the daylight. I went at night, had to go slow and drove past the lot. Have fun!

Good afternoon -
Yeah, the directions are good. Just know that FS42 is quite a ride. You've been on them before - they just seem to go forever - which is a good thing! But you'll eventually get there. Y'all have fun! I'm headed to Fontana tommorrow to walk to Hot Springs.

USFS 42
From Atlanta, take I-75 to I-575 (turns into 515) to Elijay. Turn east (Right) on Hwy 52 towards Dawsonville/Dalohnaga (away from Elijay). Go about 6 miles east, past the town of Cartecay, to Big Creek Rd. Take Big Creek Rd approx 12 miles to FS 42. There is a white church on the left and a FS sign on the right. Road is gravel and has sign marking Springer Mtn 6.5 miles. Parking lot will be on left at trail crossing. Road is narrow and bumpy. Will take approx 20-30 min to drive to the parking lot. ox97game @ aol.com 25
