Flood Watch issued July 22 at 11:19AM EDT until July 25 at 12:00AM EDT by NWS Peachtree City GA
* 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
Fort Mountain State Park occupies a scenic stretch of the Cohutta Mountains, offering diverse camping options from developed RV sites to primitive backcountry camping. The 70 developed campsites feature electric and water hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, with modern comfort stations providing hot showers and flush toilets. Walk-in tent sites and covered platform camping provide alternatives for those seeking a more rustic experience. The park's 17-acre lake serves as a centerpiece for recreation, featuring a sand swimming beach open seasonally and boat rentals including kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Hiking opportunities range from the easy 1.2-mile Lake Loop to the challenging 8.2-mile Gahuti Backcountry Trail that circles the park. Mountain bikers prize the East-West Bike Loop, rated among the Southeast's most beautiful and challenging trails. Historic attractions include a stone fire tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s and the mysterious 855-foot-long rock wall at the mountain's summit. The ancient wall's origin remains debated, with theories ranging from Native American fortifications to ceremonial structures.
