cohutta overlook

360 mountain view. all the way down the valley to bartow county on a clear day. beautiful spot isolated and very peaceful and quiet most times

I am referring to the overlook west of the former Cohutta Lodge towards Chatsworth. I don't know about the overlook east of the former Cohutta Lodge, towards Ellijay.

April 4, 2014, Tony and I was driving the back roads of Georgia on our way to Helen, GA to visit the Bavarian Village. We passed Fort Mountain State Park, which we love by the way. We visited there a few weeks back, but this time ON TO HELEN....on down the road towards Elijay, Ga I noticed a sign "COHUTTA OVERLOOK"...I said...BRAKE..side trip..My husband is used to this..that is why I travel the back roads so I can find interesting sites, old homes and buildings and overlooks...I do this quite regularly...Glad I am the driver. I also Brake for Yard Sales...lolI drove out the side road and parked along the narrow ONE WAY road..and we started to climb up the side of the small mountain via a trail and some stairs...its a nice little HEART POUNDING hike..but once you are at the top...oh WOW !!! the View is AWESOME...STUNNING..the adjectives keep going on, on and on...You have to take the 10-15 minutes out of your schedule to check out this great vista.I loved it.I took several photos ( of course )And AGAIN..I can't say it enough....FREE FREE FREE !!!!
