Russell Lands On Lake Martin

Protect. Enhance. Enjoy.
There's no better way to enjoy a little adventure than by choosing your own path within The Russell Forest Trail System. Our hiking, biking and equestrian trails weave and wind for more than 80 miles, giving you almost unlimited choice for exercise and activity. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by lush pine and hardwoods, and serenaded by many of the area's native birds. Skip a few stones for luck as you cross the creeks and streams that rise and fall with the changing seasons. Take a break for sandwiches when your trail graces the Lake Martin shoreline. And as the sun begins to drop behind the trees, choose a path leading to Russell Crossroads, where you can relive your day's adventures over dinner with family and friends.

Contact the Stables for organized horse rides, or the Adventure Center for bicycle rentals.

Please note: effective June 1, 2011, users of the trail system must join the association to have access to the trail system.
