OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Our
outdoor activities include a playing in the streams, three in-ground
trampolines, playground complete with
sandbox, multiple large bon fire areas and our fully stocked fishing
pond allows you to catch fresh trout ideal for a campfire dinner.
Also
available is an outdoor covered kitchen with charcoal grills,
electricity and water. Our decking system with multiple
picnic tables with umbrellas is ideal for groups desiring outdoor
picnics and barbecues.
For those rainy
days we
have hundreds of movie rentals and a TV room with over 200 satellite channels.
There
are 4 waterfalls which are accessible from the observation
deck or by a short hike. Speaking of hiking, there are miles of
trails, including a 1.5 mile path connecting to the Appalachian
Trail. For quiet time, there are many secluded spots on the property
where you can just relax and listen to the sounds of nature.
SWIMMING & PLAYING IN
THE WATER
Kids of all ages (and pets) can
get wet in any of our streams including those right on your camping
site. You and your family can also hike to the middle part of the
200 foot waterfall where guests can get in and under a waterfall (wow! -
just like Pedro in the photo). Also, for deeper water swimming, the
old YMCA's "refrigerator" swimming pond is located behind our
main lodge.
DAILY
FARM TOUR & ANIMAL FEEDING
Enota
also operates as a bio-diverse farm and has many family friendly
animals (chickens, bunnies, goats, cows, mini horses, and more) on our farm. Adults and children are welcome to
help with our daily feedings. The duck pond in front of
the lodge is extremely popular and everyone has fun feeding the
ducks.
Help feed the animals-fun for
the kids! Meet at the farm at 4:00 p.m. - April, May,
August, September Saturdays | June, July, October Daily
GARDENING
& SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION
As part of Enota charter, we are also an educational and charitable
facility and offer classes to groups. Adults and children can visit our bio-diverse
garden, hydroelectric power plant, Cherokee ceremonial area and animal sanctuary to learn more about the heritage of this land and sustainability.
TROUT FISHING
Enota's stocked trout pond is a great
place for the kids to catch a fish or to catch dinner. We can supply
you with the poles and no license is required. This is a catch and
keep pond only with everything you catch - the greater of $7.00 per pound or
per fish . Stocked
with about 500 trout averaging one pounds. The pond is usually well
stocked from April through October.
Another way to fish is in the National
Forest adjoining Enota's property. The state stocks the creek running
along Road 180 and a Georgia license is required.
Use of our stocked trout pond is available to
our overnight guest and to guests that have purchased a day
pass.
All activities are available to
registered overnight guests. For those families and individuals not
staying with us, day passes are available. Day passes are priced at $10 per adult
or teen and $5 per child under the age of 13.
Pets are welcome at $5. Day passes allow the use of the property for the day to
include hiking trails, visiting the waterfalls, playground area with
trampolines, picnic area and outdoor kitchen, trout fishing, daily farm
tours and animal feedings, and any other
events we may have for the day.
As a non-profit conservation and
educational facility, Enota also hosts school field trips. With at
least 25 students, pricing is $15 per adult or teen and $10 per child 12
years and younger. All Enota activities are available to students and
as part of the field trip program, Enota educators will provide an in-depth,
hands-on and fun educational experience at the bio-diverse farm and
garden. Click on the videos below to see some clips from recent school
