Daytime highs through the wintertime are in the 40's with temperatures at Van Orsdal Lake dipping down into the 20's during winter nights. This lake is located in the wonderful Blue Ridge Mountains. Van Orsdal Lake Dam is an interesting thing to check out, and if you yearn for a little side  
   spree, try Goldmine Hollow.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Van Orsdal Lake a wet location; the wettest month of the year is mostly March, that's the one that rains the most, and October on the other hand is the driest. Why not explore nearby Big Creek if you're here at Van Orsdal Lake, and get your heart pumping on the splendid whitewater of Toccoa River. Whohoo, so many cool things in one place! The Blue Ridge Mountains is unbeatable!

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....
