Moccasin Creek Park

Moccasin Creek Park is located on Highway 197 in Clarkesville, Georgia and is approximately one hour and 45 minutes drive from Atlanta. The park is located among the Blue Ridge Mountains and sits by the shores of the 2,800-acre Lake Burton. Open from 7am to 10pm, visitors to the park can take part in various activities and can camp here overnight.

Visitors wishing to stay overnight can make use of the 55 tent, trailer and RV camp sites within the 32-acre park. This is a good place for fishing too with a fully accessible pier sitting above a creek filled with trout, whilst visitors can also tour the trout rearing station here. Other fish to be found in the lake are bass, crappie and bream. Stream fishing is restricted to seniors aged 65 and above or children 11 years and below.

Children can keep themselves amused at a playground here, and there are picnic facilities for visitors to enjoy their lunch at. The park's scenery can be enjoyed via the two mile long Hemlock Falls Hiking Trail or from the one mile Interpretive Trail, which features an observation tower. Another way to enjoy the scenery is to hire a canoe to paddle along the waterways here.
