Lake Conasauga Campground
...ng at Lake Conasauga for the last few years I am very upset about the way people are treating the facilities offered there. As this area grows in popularity, and more and more people use it, I am saddened by the way this beautiful lake and mountian is being abused and trashed. The catch phrase ''Leave only your footprints'' applies to all US National Forests for a reason. One can only assume that you use this camping area for it's beauty and freshness, so why then do so many people leave it in such a mess? To have to pick up over 50 bags of trash, often left scattered about after a non-holiday weekend, is unreasonable. I don't mean to rant or nag, but, it isn't that hard to put a grocery bag in you pocket when fishing along the lake trail and walk out with the trash you create. The hosts in most camp grounds are volunteers and are unpaid. They pay for all of their own expenses to be there in order to keep the grounds and restrooms clean and stocked. So, PLEASE, read and obey the rules posted. Few places are as beautiful as our National Parks, please lets all make that small effort to...

Rice Camp Trail
If you attempt Rice Camp Trail Make sure to have compass/GPS and map.  There was a terrible storm that blew down literally hundreds of trees.  The trail is impassible, no exaggeration!!  You can get around the downed trees, but don't expect to stay on the trail.  Trees are down about a 1 1/2 miles southeast of the Jacks River Trail....

I have been going to this since I was a little boy...I'm 37 now. It is a wonderful campground. It holds many memories for me as I am sure it will for you....I have stayed at the Diamond lure in the past and found the campground and the operaters to be of a high quality. There is fishing and boating on the private lake too....
