Georgia’s highest state park is also one of its most spectacular, with the amazing scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains all around. Roadside overlooks share 80-mile vistas, hiking trails wander past wildflowers, streams, waterfalls, and forests. Camp surrounded by rhododendron and large oak trees, and fish in the lake.
