The Bear Creek Trail is about a 25-minute drive from the cabin and offers a beautiful hike through lush, moss-covered forests. This moderate to hard hike is just over six miles long and guides adventurers along the serene banks of Bear Creek, across gentle stream crossings, and up to a nearby summit that presents panoramic views of the surrounding valley. ​Just a heads up – there are a few river crossings. Plan to have wet feet or take of your shoes.

A highlight of the trail is the Gennett Poplar, the second-largest living tree in Georgia. And for those seeking a shorter hike, a two-mile round trip to the Gennett Poplar offers a family-friendly option without compromising on the scenic beauty.
