Lake Zwerner (aka Yahoola Creek Reservoir) Reviews
This is a great little hike if you don’t want to drive far out of town. You can do once around for a 5k or you can do out and backs.

Explore Cane Creek Falls
From the parking lot, walk about 500 feet to the check-in office to let the receptionist know that you would like to visit the falls. This campground operates as a retreat select times throughout the year and is closed to the public during those times so prior to visiting, be sure to call and find out whether it is open for public access. After a day of kayaking, my partner and I lucked up on...
Kayak the Chestatee River South of Dahlonega

There are several small rapids and bumpy areas (class 1) throughout, with two larger rapids (class 1-2) towards the end of the section. It does get pretty shallow in some sections, so keep watch and steer clear of bigger rocks! We saw many turtles sunbathing on the banks and on partially subme...
