Just south of Suches, Georgia along Sally Spillers Creek and then Canada Creek itself lies Canada Creek Road. Formerly popular with the dirt bike riders before it was graveled, this road has one of the best camping spots in the area at the end of the trail right along the creek. Surrounded by sights and sounds of nature the entire way, this trail is also the connecting trail for Forest Service Road 274. If you're looking for a good, off the beaten path camping area or just out for an easy scenic stroll near Suches, give Canada Creek Road a look.

Head south on Highway 60 for about a half mile. Turn left onto Coopers Gap Road and proceed for 1.6 miles. Turn right onto Canada Creek Road. The trail starts 0.2 miles up the road where the pavement ends.
Fresh gravel on many spots of the road. Very easy drive until the end then some smaller ruts just before the campsite. There are 4 major waterfalls at the end of this trail that involve short hikes - can you find them all?
Basically just a gravel road---nothing technical until the end where are some deep ruts and mud. Sadly, there is a moderate amount of trash near the campsite. I picked up a lot while I was there, but I only had a few bags with me. As previously stated, the camp site is the main attraction here. The creek running right by it is beautiful and very peaceful.
Took a ride down here today looking for waterfalls. Road in good shape until the last half mile, then gets rocky and that last incline/decline is pretty much 4WD only with a rut down the center. The campground at the end of the trail is truly top notch if you can get it - right next to the creek with some small rapids.
Still a very scenic, easy trail - most of it has been recently graveled with large gravel making for a very bumpy, slow going ride.

Dave is more of an explorer than a wheeler who loves to find remote locations to hike and kayak fish. Born and raised in Chicago for 21 years before moving to Atlanta, backroads and forests and mountains were a whole new experience and now he just can't get enough. When he's not fishing for stripers on Lake Lanier, you can find him in the mountains of North Georgia, Tennessee or South Carolina exploring and mapping backroads. Just look for the guy with the kayak on the top of the truck!
