     A visit to Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail is worthwhile, obviously you could also take a look at Iris Lake East since you're here; it's not far at all. Iris Lakes is great enough to spend more than a day at, New Hope Campground is a great local campground, and an afternoon playing golf at Cotton Fields Golf Club is always a delight. Iris Lake East Dam is an attention-grabbing thing to check out, and if you've had enough of Iris Lakes, Davis Lake  
   is nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Towaliga River is a nice whitewater spot near Iris Lakes, and if you need a location to stay Americas Best Value Inn and Suites/McDonough is a perfect choice.
No way I can stop, cause I'm havin' a good time here at Iris Lakes. A glorious location for whitewater paddling near Iris Lakes is South River; if you came to camp Shingle Roof Campground is a great place to do that. Dry warm beds await you at Days Inn McDonough.
