The day was warm and sunny attracting many who where enjoying the cool waters all along the creek but especially at the foot of the damn where the cool mist filled the air. The other side offered a viewing platform for those who might not want to climb steep banks. On the far side of damn, we were still able to climb down a relatively steep bank to reach the creek below. We made our way to both sides of the damn where there was an abundance of spots all along the bank for sunning, wading or just relaxing to the sound of the fast flowing water.

This is such a photographer’s delight that professional photographers must obtain a permit before taking photos.Ī covered bridge provided a beautiful walk across the creek and easy access to the trails on the other side. We stepped back in time as we gazed at some of the preserved ruins of the historic mills, buildings and of course the awesome spillway damn with its 75 foot waterfall. The warm day provided an easy but delightful scenic hike. This was a fitting hike for Memorial Day as the trail and Vickery (Big) Creek are home to a spillway dam that was a valuable asset to the South during the Civil War, having powered the mill wheel that was built downstream at the now abandoned mill ruins.These mills were leading manufacturers of materials used for the Confederacy. Rather than our typical jaunt up to the north Georgia mountains, we decided to try a smaller but beautiful trail only a few miles away in Roswell, GA. Liz and I decided we would spend memorial day hiking a trail for fun and exercise.
