The historic G&F RR over the Altamaha River, looking west from US Highway 221
The Sweet Onion Rail Trail, as part of the G&F Trail, will pass through the 17,016-acre Bullard Creek Wildlife Management Area crossing the Altamaha River from Montgomery County to Jeff Davis County. My wife and I had a wonderful time today riding our gravel bikes out to the south end of the Altamaha River Bridge. Our photos don’t do it justice, but here are a few pictures from today’s ride.
The trestle bridge timbers look to be in great condition.
While we had fun dodging mud puddles and pedaling over the forest floor, the rail-trail will be high above this flood plain, on the abandoned train trestle. The 1908 trestle has stood the test of time, and is ready now to be repurposed for walking, bicycling, skating, etc…

Before I pass from this world, my hope and prayer is that I will learn of the completion of the Sweet Onion Trail. To whom should I send a letter to get this project moving?
God bless.
