Adventure abounds in Chattahoochee National Forest.

Fort Mountain Fun

 

If your family is looking for a relaxing, outdoorsy getaway with plenty of awesome sightseeing, the 750,000- acre Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia is the place to go. It spans Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and contains the Cohutta Wilderness area, which offers recreation for the whole family and accommodations for every family’s style.

Accommodations 

If you like roughing it, reserve a site at Fort Mountain State Park’s campground located at the top of the 2,800-foot high Fort Mountain. Amenities include electricity, water, shower houses with flush toilets and gravel camping sites with scenic views. Nearby Amicalola Falls State Park offers a smaller campground with similar amenities.

If camping isn’t your style, Fort Mountain and Amicalola Falls state parks offer spacious one- to three-bedroom cottages with bathrooms. Cabins can also be found in nearby private parks.
