All about Big Canoe
This 8,000-acre private development in North Georgia attracts those looking to get active in the great outdoors without having to sacrifice the comfort and amenities of a gated community. In addition to the 10-court tennis complex and 27-hole championship golf course, there are three man-made lakes, so you can spend the morning casting for crappie on Lake Sconti, the afternoon sunning yourself on the sandy shores of Lake Disharoon, and the evening enjoying a sunset cruise on Lake Petit. You might spot a bald eagle or even a black bear while hiking the 20 miles of fern-lined trails that meander past waterfalls and Native American rock mounds. Venture beyond the gates and you'll find yourself surrounded by a more untamed wilderness: nearly two million acres of protected state and federal land, including the Chattahoochee National Forest and the mythic Appalachian Trail, plus the quaint mountain towns of Dahlonega, Ellijay, and Blue Ridge.
