Amicalola Falls State Park, North GA

[Leroy A. Eckert]

If anyone in this area wants to visit a very nice State park visit
Amicalola Falls. GA. About 18 miles N of Dahlonega. I got the 40
footer in there. There are some issues to know about before visiting.
A 40 footer will fit into spots 21, 22, 23, 24. It will fit into
others but the elevation at one of the turns will skid the back of the
bus. Shorter coaches no problems. One other thing of note. The final
drive to the top is about 1.3 miles of published 25% grade or in some
spots greater. The ole bus grunted a bit the last 200 feet in 1st
gear. No problem coming down. 10 mph on the retarder.
Happy Easter.

Leroy's right, Amicalola rocks, we've been going there 15 years or more,
though my bird hasn't been yet it will soon!

If you want to see tax dollars put to a use you can appreciate, go visit it
