Aug. 2021 Camping along the Tallulah River
Channel: Mark Cobb
Date: 2021-08-16

To visit this beautiful place head West from Clayton GA on 76, turn right on Persimmon Road, and left on Tallulah River Road.  It's a long gravel road that runs alongside the river.  You'll pass 3 campgrounds and the tiny town of Tate City, but there's a parking lot at the very end, which leads you up to the site, an old Girl Scout camp alongside what I presume is the first swimming hole along the river.  It's about 30 minutes driving on the gravel road and 20 minutes walking up the path.  When the path forks, go left across the stream (Deep Gap Trail).  The swimming hole is on your left, the campsites on the right.  It's in the National Forest.  There are no fees.
Please take care of it.
