Plan a Couples Weekend of Outdoor Adventure

Travel writer, Anna Cook, has tips for planning a weekend getaway that adventure loving couples are sure to enjoy!

Possum Creek Trail

A great hike if you’re in Long Creek! Officially known as the “Opossum Creek Trail”, it’s 2.2 miles each way and leads to waterfalls and a sandy beach along the Chattooga River.

Be careful out there

As beautiful as our waterfalls are, they also hold hidden dangers. We encourage everyone to use common sense and safely enjoy the natural experience.

Yellow Branch Falls overcrowded
