Along the way, he shared the history of the Toccoa, great stories and commentary about fishing and his writing experiences, which added another enjoyable layer to the day and punctuated the fishing beautifully. I brought along a friend who is very particular, and by the end of the trip he was already talking about organizing another outing for a friend of his who has mobility issues--which says a lot. I loved the day, and Joe was truly the icing on the cake.

Can't beat the 4+ hours of trout fishing we did on a weekend and we saw NO ONE else out on the river! Joe knows his stuff and got my novice son trout fishing like a pro in no time!

She has a wheelchair and I was happy to see the paths around us were all paved, so we were able to push her along them easily. We didn't venture onto any paths with elevation; the main path we chose followed the river and there were lots of areas to walk down to get a close up view or even wade if inclined. The path was shady also which was nice. I loved seeing the waterfall by the river right by the parking lot. This was a great time and I'd definitely return to explore some more paths or take a longer trek.

This was definitely a different landscape for us and we loved it. We were happy we had a four wheel…read moredrive because the drive here is not paved at has steep hills. When you get here there is no signage at all. You just drive and look for it. There is really no parking except for parking on the side of the creek. There are areas for people to camp but they are not defined. We drove as high as we could and someone else driving down. They told us to follow them to one of the falls, but there was not much of a fall bc of the lack of rain. We had also parked at the spot they pointed to us for a break from the uphill steep drive. We went down more and parked by the creek and went down to see the water. When we got there, we looked up and saw the fall, but it was a bit of a distance for us to drive back to, plus we would have to walk over rocks to get to it. I didn't get to take a pic but it was pretty. We did like this trip, but I think I wished I could have seen more. The day before we went to the Edge of the World in Dahlonega and enjoyed that more.

The sites themselves are very nice, and it is quiet. We did get hit by a storm, but our camper held up quite well. The lodge is also a beautiful building and has scenic views. The park was clean and there is a small nature center with live animals and reptiles. The staff are friendly and helpful too. The one downside is the firewood issue that persists in most state parks. You aren't allowed to bring in firewood from other places (unless bought in the area), and they charge you a ridiculous amount for what are little more than shims to use. Overall, this was a wonderful end to our Georgia journey.

Austin showed a great amount of patience and shared his fly fish knowledge concerning both casting, taking notice of what the trout were feeding and what to look for in fishing runs,etc. I would not hesitate to book a future trip with him the next time I'm in this area. Caught several brownies and learned a ton during our time on the water. Thank You Austin for sharing your time and knowledge!
