Cove campground |
The campground is situated in mature hardwood
and Spruce trees with some sites adjacent to Santeetlah Creek. Rhododendrons
are abundant too.
Nearby, is the Joyce
Kilmer Memorial Forest. Some of the Yellow Poplars are over 400
years old, 20 feet in circumference and 100 feet tall. To enjoy this
virgin splendor, there are two easy loop trails - one is 1.25 miles
and the other is 0.75 miles.
