Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest
Enjoy a picnic, hold a Boy Scout troop meeting, or have a family gathering within the historic CCC structures of this wooded recreation area. Directly adjacent to the picnic pavilions visitors can follow their picnic with a mesmerizing or try a hike to the awesome falls on the 3.3 mile (one way) Panther Creek Falls Hiking Trail. The pool at the end of the waterfalls is a great place to enjoy a little cool swim on a hot summer day.
