NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Suches
​Blairsville


Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest centered around a beautiful 18-acre lake. The lake was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and forms the headwaters of Cooper Creek. The lake allows hand-powered and electric motor boats only. 

We camped here in October 2018 and stayed in the North Loop for two nights. The drive from Blairsville was very beautiful but also very curvy and steep. We enjoyed hiking around the lake and hiking the Slaughter Creek Trail up to Blood Mountain and connecting to the Appalachian Trail. We didn't make it to the Jarrard Gap Trail this trip so maybe next time. Always remember this is bear country and keep your campsite free of food and coolers.

The park is run by the Cradle of Forestry and they were very friendly and helpful. We found the sites to be level and not too close. There are also some beautiful primitive tent sites. The little town of Suches, Georgia is five miles southwest of the park and has a general store and gas station. Blairsville, Georgia is 16 miles north and offers full-service grocery stores and shopping.
