Chattahoochee National Forest

Boasts fabulous hiking trails, many of which lead to pretty cascades and roaring waterfalls, and a healthy deer, turkey, and bear population (last estimated to be 30,000, 6,000, and 650 respectively).

The Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests provide the finest outdoor recreation opportunities and natural resources in Georgia. Featuring nearly 867,000 acres across 26 counties, thousands of miles of clear-running streams and rivers, approximately 850 miles of recreation trails, and dozens of campgrounds, picnic areas, and other recreation activity opportunities, these lands are rich in natural scenery, history and culture. The mission of the USDA Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.
