Written Directions

About 4 miles south of Blairsville, GA off of Hwy 129 look for Owltown Road on the right where the route starts. Take Owltown road as it heads west/northwest through the mountains and the route ends when you hit Mulky Gap Road.

Scenery

This is just a nice drive thru the country, not terribly twisty, but nice curves and hills. Lots of mountain views, but also some valley and pastoral views. No commercial development along this route, and not a stop sign or much traffic for this 9 miles.

Road Quality

Nice blacktop highway, and a super nice bypass around Blairsville. Look out for deer and cyclists, but visibility is pretty clear the entire route. Great way to avoid stop and go city traffic thru Blairsville.

Roadside Amenities

There is no commercial dev. much on this road, there is a rental cabin place and Cooter Brown Emporium which will be described more below. There are two convenience stores on Mulkey on the west, and a bbq place and conv store on the east end, on hwy 129.
