* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast, and northwest Georgia, including the following counties, in north central Georgia, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Gilmer, Hall, Lumpkin, Pickens and Union. In northeast Georgia, Banks, Towns and White. In northwest Georgia, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, Polk, Walker and Whitfield. * WHEN...From 8 PM EDT this evening through late Friday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are likely through late week. An anomalously moist environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding. Widespread rainfall of 2 to 4 inches will be possible with locally higher amounts of 5 inches or more. Urban areas, and areas with poor drainage, will be the most susceptible to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Cooper Creek Campground is a forested retreat in the North Georgia mountains within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Located along the banks of Cooper Creek, the campground sits within the Cooper Creek Wildlife Management Area, which spans over 30,000 acres and offers opportunities for camping, hiking, trout fishing, and hunting. The campground features 25 sites across two loops: Mulky Loop and Cooper Creek Loop. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring, tent pad, lantern post, and gravel parking. Sites are nonelectric with no hookups. Two vault toilets serve the campground, and potable water is available from centrally located hydrants during peak season. Site 24 is a double/group site. Several interconnected hiking trails start in or near the campground, including Yellow Mountain Trail (3.2 miles), Cooper Creek Trail (1.7 miles), Mill Shoals Trail (0.9 miles), Shope Gap Trail (0.6 miles), and Connector Trail (0.4 miles). Cooper Creek and nearby Mulky Creek provide year-round trout fishing for wild and stocked trout.
