     The Blue Ridge Mountains scenery is always beautiful. All year is a magnificent time in the Blue Ridge Mountains if you fancy the outdoors. Some nearby water includes Collins Branch, and Dean Pond is tremendous enough to spend more than a day at, Poteete Creek Camp Ground is a tremendous local campground.
Life's too short to enjoy all the entertaining things in the Blue Ridge Mountains. At Dean Pond you can catch a sight of Blackjack Mountain, and there
 
   are some good whitewater spots on Toccoa River. At Dean Pond through the summertime highs are in the 80's, and the night is fairly chillier of course, ordinarily in the 60's. The cold days of the winter come with highs in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Dean Pond are in the 20's. If you come at the right time of year, Cooper Creek offers some fine whitewater, and Dean Pond is right by the Coosa Backcountry Trail.

Coosa Backcountry Trail
12 miles away
...weather a little colder. We decided we were to far into the journey now to turn back, so we pushed on. After a few hours of strenuous hiking we reached the junction of the Coosa and Appalachian Trail. We pushed on for another hour or two until we reached the top and I saw the better than I expected shelter at the summit of Blood Mountain. We staggered in about two at a time a few minutes apart, each small group repeating the same emotion of screaming here it is, or we found it, finally. We camped in the shelter with two other parties and proceeded to drink the liquor we brought with us which helped us keep our mind off the fact that the temp was falling under twenty degrees making for a cold night. The next morning the mountain was covered in ice and light snow. The view was spectacular as you can stand on a HUGE rock that is right next to the shelter. Blood mountain seems to tower way over the surrounding mountains which is great for taking pictures. While the journey up which takes about a full day if you follow the trails we took, takes merely a few hours to get back to Vogel as w...

DeSoto Falls Trail
15 miles away
I was there during the weekend before the 4th. DO not plan to stay a whole day here. Have a snack see the falls and move on to other falls. I camped here and it was okay. Had a run in with a huge Timber rattler 3/4 of a mile from entrance of Desot and realized camp was below....... Go see the Waters Creek area as well. Have a great lunch for few hours at Vogel North of DeSoto....

Dicks Creek

Well if this is where the big waterfall is. No Iw ould not raft it. Besides if you went way too far down you will run into private proprrty and You will be in huge trouble! For below the falls there are deep pools w/ trout and signs to keep out. What a pretty picture to take. GO with the right person which in my case took the wrong person, Who likes to stop Fish for awhile, see a fall, go on to next stop.Rest, enjoy and move to Desoto or Helen etc. I plan for now on to go to this area of GA 2 to 3 times a year to see the views. Pooh on some of your state parks for camping....

Arkaquah Trail
17 miles away
Hiked this trail with a friend on Labour Day weekend 2007 and it was one of the toughest trails that we have done. Parking at Brasstown and hiking down was pretty easy and we stopped to eat at Track Rock. Going back up to Brasstown was pretty brutal even though we are both in good shape. There are few turns or forks, which is good because the trail is NOT marked in many places. We heard reports of a copperhead and yellow jackets on the trail, but only saw red tailed hawks, bugs and worms. There is no water on this trail, but its very shady, at least in the summer. The views are nice and you are advised to take your time climbing using short steady steps. Over 11 miles of hiking total and it took a good 6 hours including rest stops, eating time, pictures, etc....

Etowah River Campground

I love camping at Etowah River Campground.  It is secluded and away from the traffic of the big lakes and Corps of Engineers campgrounds.  The owners are VERY friendly and will do anything to make your stay pleasurable.  You can hike and ride your ATV nearby, float the Etowah River or just relax.  There is no reason to run to town after your arrival.  The campsites are also very spacious and roomy, the bath house is clean and well maintained and the grounds are well groomed.  I can't wait to go back.  It may just be the only place I camp from now on....
