If you are in Gilmer county it's always a good idea to stop by Powell Lake. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Cartecay River, and an out of the ordinary thing to stop by right next door to Powell Lake is Powell Lake Dam. Powell Lake is not the only place close by, Dakwa Lake is a close by lake, and at Powell Lake you can see Owltown Mountain. This lake is so wonderful.
There's fine hiking along the Bear Creek
