A parking area is also provided on the Georgia side. To access the upstream area, walk west along SR 28 for a few hundred yards to a gated dirt road. This road leads to the wildlife clearing where the stocking trucks approach the river. Beyond that point, a trail continues upriver to the mouth of Reed Creek.
