Limestone Cove Day Use Area
Limestone Cove Day Use Area alongside North Indian Creek in beautiful Limestone Cove. Many people take advantage of the cool shade near the creek to picnic.
The cool swift waters of North Indian Creek provide excellent habitat for trout. A portion of a rail line that once traveled between Unicoi and Limestone Cove is still visible in the picnic area.
