Camped here several times and always had a great time. Stayed there last night, parked close to the entrance to the gravel road and hiked in because I wasn't sure of it's condition. It's better than it was last time I stayed and was passable by a Toyota Corolla. Nice fire ring where I pitched my tent and there was plenty of of fallen limbs to use. Cold but quiet night listening to the creek.
It’s a hidden gem! Shaded trail along the river side all the way and fantastic falls at the end of the trail. Very peaceful and quiet. Dipping in the chill water was the best reward for the 5 miles out and back trail. It was little challenge to walk on the deep inclines. But definitely worth it!
I've always loved hiking here, but the washed-out road makes it very risky to drive all the way to the camp sites. I have not been down there since summer of 2024, when even 4-wheel cars were stuck getting out. If anyone has been there in 2025 and knows whether the road is repaired, please post.
I purchased a fishing license so I could hike, but the signs stating the trail was closed (1 mile in) deterred me from completing the hike. The notice posted on the board said the trail is closed starting Nov 30, a few days from now, but the big red signs clearly state the trail is closed. I errored on the side of caution.
Great spot for hiking or camping. Parts of the trail run beside amicalola and wildcat Creeks. In the past I could navigate the road in my sedan, but not now. Several rough spots would be very difficult without a high clearance vehicle, 4 wheel drive preferable. This is a fee area so you need either a hunting license fishing license or a Georgia Lands pass.
