Copperheads..... It’s getting hot here in the North Georgia Mountains which means snakes have become a little more active in search of shady spots. The Copperhead snake can be found almost everywhere in the state of Georgia and is listed as one of the six most dangerous snakes! A Copperhead bite is almost never fatal to an adult, but can still be extremely painful, they can however be fatal to animals and small children. In fact Copperheads bite more people per year in the U.S. compared to any other snake!   There are five sub-species of Copperhead snakes and 3 of them are in Georgia. Since many share overlapping territories they will often cross breed. It is more likely to find one with traits from several sub-species. The good news though is that all of Georgia’s copperheads are close... 06/06/2017

History is truly written in stone. This area of Trackrock Gap is home to a series of rock carvings (petroglyphs) believed to have been made by Native Americans.
