Information
At
Deep Hole Recreation Area there’s no rush as the coffee begins brewing and the
fire is stirred and built back up from the night before. The water of the
Toccoa River, just a few feet from your campsite, flows by at a relaxed pace
setting the mood for the rest of the day as you decide whether to check out
nearby attractions like the Duncan Ridge National Recreation Trail, Chattahoochee
National Fish Hatchery or just sit on the bench overlooking the river for a
while. Whatever your preference this secluded campsite offers visitors an
ideal experience to sit back and enjoy nature.
