Easy to moderate trails for biking. Our dog enjoyed cooling off in the creeks alongside trail.

Nice park with many hiking opportunities. Make it a day by traveling the Richard B Russell Parkway too (southern entrance is less than 1/4 mile from the park).

Prices for cabins

Bettye Ludd | Oct 23, 2019
Will Wagner | Oct 23, 2019

You'll need to call the park. They have 1 bedroom log cabins with a king bed and hot tubs up to a 5 bedroom cabin that is like a miniature hotel. They are all a great deal considering how beautiful they are and your surroundings. All revenue supports the conservation area and environmental education.

Washer and dryer in large meeting cabins?
