* 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
Tucked away in the scenic Ridge and Valley region of northwest Georgia, James H. "Sloppy" Floyd State Park is considered one of the state's best-kept secrets. The 561-acre park sits surrounded by rural countryside and the Chattahoochee National Forest, offering a quiet retreat for campers seeking solitude and natural beauty. Two spring-fed lakes provide excellent fishing opportunities for bass, catfish, and bream, with a fishing pier and boat rentals available. The campground features 25 developed sites spread across wooded hillsides, each equipped with electric and water hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables. Sites are large and level with a mix of back-in and pull-through configurations. Modern bathhouses provide hot showers and flush toilets, and there's a dump station on-site along with washer/dryer facilities. Four backcountry sites offer a more primitive experience for backpackers. Beyond camping, visitors can explore three miles of lake loop trails including the notable Marble Mine Trail, which passes by historic marble mining sites. The park also offers four rental cottages for those seeking more comfortable accommodations, playgrounds for families, and concession services during peak season.
