- Fourth route collaboration between BMW Motorrad USA and BDR.

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – September 17, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – BMW Motorrad USA and non-profit organization Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) are proud to present the Chattahoochee BDR-X, the fourth route collaboration between the two adventure riding community partners.
The Chattahoochee BDR-X will take riders on a 350-mile loop through the north Georgia mountains. The route combines a collection of graded forest roads, primitive two-track, and scenic backcountry pavement under the dense canopy of the Chattahoochee National Forest for an unforgettable experience. Unique to the south, the Chattahoochee BDR-X can be ridden most of the year and is best between March and December, weather permitting.
“We’ve designed this BDR-X to be “the Greatest Hits” of the Chattahoochee National Forest region with a blend of scenic backcountry paved and gravel roads, and incredible forest riding that crisscrosses the Appalachian Trail multiple times. Riders will encounter notable North Georgia highlights such as the Toccoa River swinging footbridge, Camp Frank D. Merrill US Army Ranger training facility, stunning mountain lakes, state parks, numerous creek crossings and more — all set beneath a lush forest canopy.” said Kirk Lakeman, Route Architect and BDR Board Member
