We are currently working on a trail guide/resource. I am hoping it will be made available in the next couple of months.
Thanks for asking. For now, Brian gave you some good links and if you post a question on here, there are plenty of folks on the forum that know the trails in the area all too well.

Thanks, I know most of the trails in the area, and am getting more familiar with even more. You've answered my question about the database.

I'll add one I haven't heard many mention, the John Muir trail that starts in Reliance, TN has been one of the best that I have been on in a while. It is very moderate, and all along the beautiful Hiawasee river. I only did the section from Childer's Creek to the Powerhouse, but it goes on for another +- 16 miles.

Here is a link to a map I made of my run on the Muir Trail.

For some reason there were a bunch of lines added to that Cravens loop URL. Try this: http://www.rockcreek.com/articles/trail_running/trails/cravens12.asp

On thing to mention as well- there's a new trail guide available now for the area- it has photos and maps along with great descriptions. The authors put a lot of the time that we haven't been able to find into compiling this:
http://www.rockcreek.com/books-and-calendars/off-road-trails-book/

It's only covering areas that are mountain-bike accessible, so there are even more places that this to run, but it's a great start.
