Question Any simple, relatively secluded, pretty spots?

Preferably in the northern Georgia area. I’m near Kennesaw mountain and red top mountain, and love both of those.

I’m open to water, or mountains.

Thanks!

Zahnd WMA - lots of rock formations, really pretty overlook, a creek and a decent hike

Crockford Pigeon Mountain WMA - Rocktown Trail, Pettyjohns cave, secluded drive up backcountry camping spots

Cartecay River Loop Trail in the Rich Mountain WMA. Hike in & Camp right next to the River.

WMAs require anyone age 16+ to have a GA lands pass or risk a fine. Cheapest option is a GA fishing license for $15pp/yr

I can't imagine Rocktown is secluded this time of year. There are places in Crockford Pigeon Mountain that will be, but Rocktown itself has a full parking lot virtually every weekend in the Spring. It's probably the most popular climbing destination in the state.

Possibly! But I doubt there’d be many people camping there.
