2026 Cohutta Cat

The Cohutta Cat is a 270-mile figure-8 loop in the mountains of North Georgia and Eastern Tennessee. It starts and ends at the Mulberry Gap Adventure Basecamp near Ellijay. From there it is designed as a clockwise progression that takes riders through parts of the Pinhoti Trail, Fort Mountain State Park, around the Cohutta and Big Frog Wildernesses, through singletrack past the Ocoee Whitewater Center, through the adventure town of Blue Ridge, past the eponymous lake, through the Bull and Jake Mountain singletrack complex, past the Appalachian Trail, through unrelentingly steep cabin access roads to an amazing singletrack descent back to the finish.
