A three-mile hike from Alpine Helen, Unicoi State Park & Lodge rewards visitors with 1,000 acres of Georgia's mountain forest. Whether visiting with friends and family or seeking solitude, unique accommodations and activities offer a camp-like experience for connecting with the great outdoors.
Barrel Cabins
Iconic lakeside barrel cabins reward outdoor enthusiasts with the comforts of home after a day of play. Cook out on the grill or whip something up in the full kitchen before settling down in front of the fireplace. Take a break from the weather with central heat and air, curl up for a favorite TV show, or enjoy the treehouse-feel of the covered porch. At the end of the day, hot showers and restful sleep await adventurers. Slip between crisp, clean sheets and cuddle fluffy pillows atop the cabin’s comfy beds.
Zip Lines
Experience the thrill of soaring through the trees on Unicoi’s zip line courses. Canopy tours feature a fantastic series of aerial bridges and speedy zips. The secure cable system coupled with attendant canopy guides ensure a safe, exhilarating flight. Rent a GoPro from the gift shop and capture the action from the tree tops.
Muddy Spokes Olympic Mountain Biking Course
A bucket-list mountain biking trail winds a figure eight over 7.5 miles of mountain terrain. One of the more difficult trails included in the Muddy Spokes Club, this exclusive trail has hosted many national and regional mountain biking events. Advanced riders will experience the excitement of 325 feet of elevation change, climbing ridges and enjoying scenic overlooks along the way. The figure-eight design allows for an early exit after biking the first half.
