Routes to Helen GA and Atlanta Traffic advice

Stage yourself just outside of Atlanta and get up early.
Weekends aren't too bad.
You have more to worry about in Helen.
Have fun!

 

Ill tell you the best way to get there...take I-985/It eventually becomes US23----take that to GA 17 to Helen. GA75 off US129 is a good road also.

 

Is this in a 4 wheeler ?

 

I-85 North out of Atlanta to I-985 , North of Gainesville this becomes 365 to SR 52 to
SR 283 to US 129 to SR 75 . This will take you into Helen , 75 thru the city isn't bad , but a lot of small streets and tight turns be sure you know where you're going. My truck is a 280 inch wb and I've been thru there with a 55 ton tri axle RGN .

 

11 am is a decent time to go through Atlanta.

 

Don’t you trust iMaps, Waze, or Google ? It even lets you checked in advance for traffic and best time to leave.

 

Honestly in a 4 wheeler I’d never go near Atlanta….or use your interstate routing
I lived in Jax for years I ran off 295 to 23 north to 16 much easier and shorter than 10-75 and this in a semi
I’m your case I’d run 23 to McRae and catch 441 north there until it runs back into 23 ne of Atlanta then 23 to just outta Clarksville to 17 to Helen
Much more relaxin and scenic
Good luck
