Hickey Gap Campground

Last Friday adventure buddy and I went to a place one of the guys from work told me about. It's called Hickey Gap Campground in Crandall, Ga. It's a very small campground out in the middle of nowhere and you have to take a gravel road for about 7 miles before you reach it. Once you get to the campground, you can go down into the campground or there's a place for "day parking." It's a free campground by the way. It's a bit of a hike from the day parking down to the river and I don't recommend it after it's rained or it's still dewy, mostly because I fell and busted my butt on the hike down. But, once you reach the river it's beautiful! There are several little "rapids" and a waterfall with some shoals at the bottom. You can climb on the rocks at the falls and it has several places that would be nice swimming holes when it's not cold. Here are some of the pictures I took there:

This was just a little funny fungi that looked like a penis coming out of the ground. We have dirty minds and laughed about it for a while.

I recommend this little place, it's nice and isolated and not too bad of a hike. It's a beautiful river and it's very pretty during the fall but I bet it's even better in the summer when it's not too cold to play in the water. You can google Hickey Gap Campground to find directions.
