A Trip Planning Guide for Teachers
BUS DRIVER INFORMATION

Contents

This information may be useful for bus drivers or charter bus companies.
Note: Using MapQuest can cause confusion when trying to find the best route to Wahsega because MapQuest attempts to provide the shortest route possible without regard for the quality of the roads. Many U.S. Forest Service roads in the area may provide a shorter route but are almost impassable.

Getting to Wahsega
Rather than using MapQuest or going through downtown Dahlonega, try following the bus route marked on this map. The driveway for Wahsega 4-H Center is a road named Cloverleaf Trail.
Note: Cloverleaf Trail is mislabeled on most online maps.

Expect a dirt road
Wahsega 4-H Center (a.k.a. Camp Wahsega) is off a narrow winding dirt road, Forest Road 28, one mile from the end of Camp Wahsega Road, which is paved.

Entering the center
Our driveway does not have an exit separate from the entrance and it is not wide enough for two lanes. Turning around in the parking lot is not recommended. Therefore, to exit without a problem, drivers may find it easier to pull past the entrance and then back down the driveway.

Parking on center
While the parking lot is small, a number of buses can park side by side without much trouble.

Please turn off engines
Rather than leaving them running, charter bus drivers should turn off their engines while waiting to load or unload passengers.

Contact information and itinerary
Contact information for the school and a complete itinerary should be provided by the lead teacher of the school that will be visiting Wahsega. The staff at Wahsega 4-H Center will not have all the details of the school’s itinerary.
