Hiwassee River Picnic Area

Located on the Hiwassee River just off State Highway 30, this beautiful picnic area has well spaced sites situated among large oaks, hickories and beeches.

Visitors can explore several trails in the area. The Fisherman's Trail offers the angler opportunities to cast his line at one of the many popular fishing spots. Spanking Stump Trail is a short interpretive hike and Oswald Dome Trail takes hikers to the top of Oswald Dome (elevation 3,000 ft.). Wildlife openings and abundant wildflowers in the spring are combined with several vistas of the Hiwassee River.
