Description

Tumbling Waters -Carters Lake -North GA, this is a 24 x 18 ORIGINAL OIL on Linen. I painted this site after my husband and my daughter's family and I needed a break from Covid's Social Distancing this fall.It will be included in the Pre Paintings for our local Plein Air Auction. We took a trip out to the boat ramp at Carter's Lake and as their website describes, we found: A lush forest filled with fern and pine., sweet-scented forest air, A towering bridge with great views and a set of spilling waterfalls. There was definitely a whole lot of beauty packed into this relatively short and easy for some hike on Tumbling Waters Nature Trail at Carter's Lake in Gilmer County, GA.
Carters Lake is a 3,200 acre reservoir located in Northwestern Georgia that is owned and managed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The lake is fed by the Coosawattee River and it is the deepest reservoir in the State at 450 feet. The dam that holds back the river, Carters Dam, was built in 1977 and it is the tallest earthen dam east of the Mississippi.

This hike on the Tumbling Waters Nature Trail starts at the boat ramp at Ridgeway Park and follows a trail along the northeastern edge of Carter’s Lake to a 150 foot bridge over Tails Creek. Here you can either cross the bridge and explore the northwestern side of the lake or continue for a few tenths of a mile to a platform that has outstanding views of Tails Creek. This is a short hike and it is great for children or those that are looking for an easy walk in to the wilderness. Swing through the wildlife clearing on the return trip for winter views of the lake
