Encompassing almost 867,000 acres of land in northern Georgia, the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest is a nature lover's paradise. There are approximately 850 miles of hiking trails to explore, including a portion of the Appalachian Trail, and the beautiful Lake Sinclair is excellent for swimming, boating, and fishing. Fishermen can also fish for trout in the forest's many streams, and adrenaline junkies can also go whitewater rafting down the Chattooga River. Another highlight is Brasstown Bald, the highest peak in the state, which has an easily accessible observation deck that provides stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and forests.
