Bear Creek Trail   Wonderful day trip Says Rene Townsend Hiking here in Georgia is a must. Ok, you've been cooped up too long, time to get out in nature a bit and if you happen to be in Gilmer County of Georgia, Bear Creek Trail is a great local trail for doing a bit of leg stretching. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Mountaintown Creek. You'll meet a lot of people from Epworth here, and if you're here why not stop at Bear     Pen Gap. If you come at the right time of year, Holly Creek offers some great whitewater.
