We arrived late on Friday night after a quick dinner at Cheddars in Macon. The trip up took about 2.5 hours. When we pulled up in the dark, you could not see the rushing water but you could sure hear it. We camped on the lake side of the park. On the south side of the lake, there is an old spillway that leads to a very fast moving and rocky river. 200 yards or so from the spillway are the "high falls" that the area is named for. Below is a picture of that spillway and a few of the falls.
On Saturday we rode Dausett Trails for a few hours. The trails were about 6 miles from our camp site and had about 17 miles worth of trails. Due to the large amount of rain we got that morning, the trails were a little wet so we got pretty nasty on our ride. There were some beautiful views on the trails and even some wild life.
The camp grounds were full and there was a good mix of tent campers and RV campers. Some were roughing it more than others. Since we don't camp much, we ended up roughing it and doing without a lot of the comforts of home. I escaped without an aching back or any other problems.
We slept in on Sunday and then got packed up and made our way home. The weekend would not have been complete without a stop in at the Bass Pro Shop in Macon.
