Learn more about this land:Gorgeous creek forest camp @ the top of a hill spanning 30acres of mixed forest w/ trails near beautiful Sugarloaf mountain! Bring your pets, hiking boots, telescopes, scooters, go-karts, atvs, mountain bikes, etc. Pan for gold at the creek! We haven't struck yet, but you might! Climb trees with gusto -- many huge oaks here that I climbed as a child, following my cats, and then realizing they were better at tree-climbing than I was. Lots of cool campfire sites in this heavily forested area. Enough open space to see the starry expanse of the firmament w/ hardly any light pollution. Near local lakes, rivers, and gorgeous Talimena Drive only 30 mins away.
