When you are in the NW Georgia mountains area, visit the Hwy 52 Scenic Overlook. |
||
 This is a great place to stretch your legs and enjoy a beautiful northwest Georgia mountain view. It sits close to many other attractions and only takes a couple of minutes to visit. The purpose of a scenic byway is to preserve the natural beauty along the designated route. A byway can be designated under one or more of six "intrinsic qualities" defined by the Federal Highway Administration, described as features that are representative, unique, irreplaceable or distinctly characteristic of an area. The six intrinsic qualities are scenic, natural, historic, cultural, archaeological and recreational. |

 The Cohutta-Chattahoochee Scenic Byway contains beautiful countryside, breath-taking views and possesses all six intrinsic qualities. Three trailhead locations have been designated along the 54-mile route to highlight the intrinsic qualities. Each trailhead emphasizes two intrinsic qualities unique to that location: Fort Mountain Overlook for archaeological and scenic value, Prater's Mill Site for historic and cultural value, and the Cohutta Fish Hatchery for natural and recreational value. Information Kiosks with scenic byway maps and materials explaining the intrinsic qualities of that particular site, as well as information about all three sites are located at each of the three trailheads to encourage and highlight your travel along the route. Free parking. GPS Location: 34.77583 | -84.66634 |
