Great Smoky Mountains National Park
As a resource for information pertaining to NW GA — Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground, etc– I would feel remiss if I did not include some of the great recreational facilities available to us here in Cherokee County. The Great Smoky Mtn National Park is only a few hours away and a wonderful place to visit. Spread over 800 acres in Tennessee and N Carolina, this preserve is home to an immense array of protected wildlife and wild flowers. It is a hiker’s paradise and also offers camping, fishing, picnicking, auto touring and more.
According to the parks web site it is world renowned for its wildflower diversity — over 1660 varieties — more than any other national park in N America. Check out the web site yourself and plan a visit soon! www.nps.gov/grsm
