Very interesting place to visit. It has been created to be a spiritual place. One will find the Ten Commandments written on a grassy hill. One can walk to the top of the hill. This was a very peaceful and quite.

Fire Creek Falls

Reviewed By Hooty123 - Tucker, United States

The creek is beautiful, clean, and a great way to cool off in the heat of summer. The falls are accessible by crossing the creek. I reccommend bringing na inner tube to float down the creek and enjoy the water that much more. The recreation area is clean and has a lot of picnic table with grills. There are trails across the bridge for hiking or biking. You could make a day of it or spend a short time. It's easy to find with ample parking.

Cherokee Lake Recreation Area

Reviewed By 939gabrielleb - Winter Haven, United States

It took us awhile to find this place has the location on this website was not correct. A local garage gave us appropriate directions and it was still hard to find. They have areras that are handicapped accessible. Only saw a handful of people here. The trail I found easy and my dogs loved the hike.
