Inside the Gates - a Conservation Community

Inside the Gates a covered timber bridge welcomes you to Big Canoe and transports you to a vacation like no other. Therefore, no matter the season, you’ll be in awe as you wind your way up any of the seven mountaintops that make up this community. In fact, nearly one-third of Big Canoe's seasonally changing mountain forests, valleys, streams and lakes have been conserved for wildlife and parks. The community also includes 2,000 acres of accessible green space with miles of hiking trails. SSoutheastDiscovery.com says Big Canoe "encompasses all the things that make living in North Georgia so inescapably compelling". (source: https://southeastdiscovery.com)
