Jimmy Scott
FOUNDER/TRAIL STEWARD
The Myth. The Man. The Legend.
Over a decade ago, Jimmy took lease of an old deer camp and turned it into old school single track. He has worked tirelessly to keep these trails in shape for locals to run and bike.
Welcome to Hart Farm Trails
This trail system consists of a hand-cut single track that bisects a power line easement. There is currently a 9-mile loop flagged with white markers. Trails pop in and out of the woods and you are never far from the trailhead, which has a covered picnic area, camper restroom, and a bike wash station. The trails have a little bit of everything that comes with a hand-cut single track in an old hardwood growth forest…. roots, rocks, twisty turns, short punchy climbs, sweeping descents, creek crossings, and a little bit of double track thrown in for good measure.
Please support the Hart Farms trails by riding and/or running them and making a small donation to help pay the annual lease. There is a donation box at the trailhead or you can donate to our Paypal and designate to “Use this donation for Hart Farm Trails”

The people (trail fairies) behind the scenes that keep our local trails in great shape
Chris Nash
Trail Foreman
Chris has been involved for years with Hart Farm and recently devoted hours and hours of work to reroute, flag, clean up and make sure the trails are in perfect condition.
Chris rediscovered mountain biking in 2012 which led to an obsession of all things cycling, be it road, gravel and of course mountain biking. He is a lifelong resident of Greene County and is a true gearhead at heart with over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry. When he’s not on one of his many bikes, which is rare, you can find him running or enjoying the occasional hike.
Mark Dugan
Texas Chainsawyer
Mark has years of trail maintenance experience and has been instrumental in cleaning up and rerouting some of our new trails.
Ben Askew
Pro Liner
Ben started helping Jimmy from the very beginning and still enjoys biking and hiking with his family at Hart Farms If you see any pro-lines or cuts, Ben likely made it.

John David (aka, JD) has been involved in the central Georgia mountain biking scene for over 20 years as a rider, racer, and trail volunteer. JD recently joined our team after several years as a volunteer at another lake area trail system. While he rarely rides a trail he doesn’t like, old-school singletrack is his passion.
