    There is sooo much to do here. The lake, marina has pontoon boats. Swimming, canoe, kayak, paddleboards, paddle boats, obstacle course, a long "rock" (concrete) slide. We saw a huge snapping turtle while canoeing! The outdoor pool, very large, with tons of chaises, a indoor grill, bathrooms, clubhouse, several outdoor tables and benches. Indoor lap pool and fitness center with lots of artwork for sale. At The Clubhouse, several options for meals, including the Bear Paw Pub. Soccer, tennis, bocce ball, golf, fishing, pretty sure I'm forgetting some. Several hiking and walking trails, one has a waterfall payout. The only thing lacking is better signage. The maps are awful and the only sign for the pools, lake, etc is when you are there! Lol!

    A man-made community in the mountains.. it's what you would want a retreat from the city to be: quiet, beautiful, secluded. This place is less than 2 hours from Atlanta. I brought anti-nausea medicine, expecting the road up to be windy. It wasn't as windy as I expected. The community in the mountains itself was more windy than the drive. There are several entrances. One must be a homeowner or guest to be able to enter the gates. Ask for a map as the community is large! I stayed in the treetopper "neighborhood" within the community. This involved a scenic drive past the marina, park, and golf-course. I saw signs for a park, dog park, hiking trail. One can park near the lake and sit on one of many benches. This is in a great location, close to Dahlonega, Amicalola Falls, Jasper, etc. There is at least one restaurant one site but there are several good restaurants nearby as well. I highly recommend this for a mountain getaway.

    Trails!

    As a Big Canoe resident, Big Canoe truly has it all!. From trails, lakes, and streams to golf, tennis, and fishing, there's plenty to explore and enjoy within our gates. And as a 30 year old growing community, Big Canoe also has more than 50 social clubs and a calendar packed with events, performances, and festivals year round!.

    Treetopper rental - loved it!

    We spent the weekend here for a wedding. The venue was beautiful. The ceremony was held on the patio overlooking the lake, and it was a wonderful view. The building itself was a bit on the smaller side, but it was cute. There are various cabins, homes, and treetoppers for rent. We stayed in the latter, and we loved it! There's kayaking, canoeing, and other water sports available. This is more for relaxation, so I'm not sure how fun it would be for a family with younger children. The are minimal restaurants around so we had to improvise. We would definitely consider coming back.

    Set your navigation for "off the beaten path" with a trip to Roper Park in Jasper GA. Nestled…read morebetween Jasper and Tate, just past the end of 575, you'll find plenty of green space for a day in the park. Diamonds and soccer fields stay busy with rec league teams, with the occasional cross country meet, including twice in fall. These races have been our reason to visit the past several years, and we've witnessed the positive evolution of the space in that time. A large playground area will keep the younger participants happy, with colorful barriers surrounding to increase the safety and fun factors. Watch out for flying round projectiles from the games surrounding on all sides though. Grab time with the orange roundball on outdoor courts or in the Pickens County Community Center adjacent, then cool off in the outdoor pool in warm seasons. Run/walk/jog on the 1-2 miles of winding paths throughout the park, and follow the exercise signs along the way for a little cross-training. Take a thoughtful break at the Peace Pole monument courtesy of the Rotary Club of Jasper, then move on to percussion with the musical feature nearby. Plenty of parking at the community center and along the back of the park, and on race weekends at the school across the street. Don't miss the infamous tunnel on your way across the highway, taking care since it's part of the 5K course. I'll be back at least once more for another late-season race, and hopefully after that.

    Fowler Park is a public space including a recreation center, sports fields, courts, two playgrounds…read moreand a skate park. Highlightsof the park are having neat public restroom, dogs are allowed and nice picnic tables. Park Amenities include 12 Tennis Courts, 5 Turf Multi-Use Rectangle Fields, 5 Picnic Pavilions, 4 Youth Baseball/Softball Fields, 3 Outdoor Basketball Courts, 2 Playgrounds, Batting Cages, Big Creek Greenway access, Braille Trail, Dog Park, Paved Walking Trail approximately 1.5 miles, Skate Park, Track and Field Area. Recreation Center Amenities include 2 Indoor Basketball Courts, Cardio-Weight Room, Indoor Walking Track, Dance Classroom, Fitness Classroom, Community Room, Multipurpose Classroom, Showers and Restrooms. One of the trails leads to Halcyon, which takes over an hour if walking at a fast pace. This park has tons of amenities, but the real hidden gem is the free run club every Tuesday at 7PM by the track. There is a nice skate and bike park there as well. Got to see several deer along the trail as well. I like how much nature this park has, many deers roam in the park. Dog must be leashed as there is wildlife present. Multiple picnic areas that varies in size. Four picnic pavilions that can be reserved, ample free parking but there is no shade on slides and swings. Play ground for kids and lots of space for different age groups to meet and do some fun activities. Well worth a visit any time of the year. If you are out this way definitely check it out.

    Absolutely beautiful park filled with wildlife and trails! I love it here! Wish it was closer to…read moreme! I come here whenever I'm in the area for a nice long walk/jog and enjoy the scenery

    This place is a complete joke. My partner willingly checked herself into this place for her on…read morebetter health. Her provider told her last night that she would be able to leave today. I called first thing this morning just to confirm that she was being released today and they told me yes so I took off of work and made a 2 Hour Dr. up there to get her today. When I got there, they told me she would not be released until tomorrow. I told them this was a mistake and that she was told last night that she would be released today and that I also confirmed this morning that she was being released today. They told me no there must've been a communication error and that she is being released tomorrow And that no one there talk to me that morning, which is a complete lie because I have proof on my phone where I spoke to someone and I even put in her personal information and her security code and they still proceeded to tell me. Yes she would be released today. But now they're not releasing her so she has signed a paper to release herself because she has no negative report on herself and she's been in there for four days, but they keep telling her that she can't leave until her doctor sign the paper even though her doctor won't be there for several more hours And that another doctor can't sign the paper for her, even though she's choosing to sign herself out. This whole experience has been nothing but a complete shit show. Every time I call I'm told different information. And literally all they do while you're in there is give you a ton of sleeping meds to have you sleep the entire time. How is that even progress When you're in there to better your mental health. You obviously cannot continue to take all those sleeping medicines once you are released because you have to be able to function, especially if you have a job and children which she does. So how can they expect you to really know if everything is working for you or not? Just avoid this place and definitely find somewhere else. They're obviously not going to replenish my gas funds and my time from work

    I was a patient her for substance abuse detox. It was a very nice experience. Staff was attentive…read moreand kind. I felt comfortable and safe. I was treated with respect and dignity. I will say that this facility was clean and efficiently ran. Doctors took time to check on me regularly. I was admitted and discharged in a timely manner. THE front desk clerk was very sweet to me and answered my questions. Her name was Sally. Very kind and informative. I would definatly recommend this place to anyone who needed a detox center or a mental health crisis center. Praise God​
