Holly Creek Picnic Area

The Holly Creek Picnic and Swimming area, located near Chatsworth, Georgia, is a beautiful recreation area where visitors have the opportunity to spend most of the day in scenic North Georgia. There is a large picnic area near the river where families and friends can gather after a short hike from the parking area. In the river itself, there is a small swimming hole that is split into a shallow swimming area by some large rocks. The shallow swimming area is about ankle deep and the deeper swimming area that is about chest deep. The water isn't deep enough to jump off of larger rocks, but there are some lower rocks that are accessible to jump off of into the deeper swimming area. Please use caution since this area is rocky and the water is relatively shallow. 

Visitors that plan on using the swimming area should plan on using water shoes while swimming in the river because of the sharp, jagged rocks in the riverbed. This area is accessible all year, but the recommended times to visit Holly Creek are from April to October. 

For any avid canoers or kayakers that want to explore the rivers of Northern Georgia, Holly Creek is a great place to start. There are many places to canoe or kayak along the river and experience the beauty that the area has to offer. 

Holly Creek has a little something for everyone and is a great place to take your family to enjoy a nice, relaxing day in the great outdoors! Whether it is a picnic or taking a dip in the swimming hole, Holly Creek could have everything you are looking for.
