Gated ~ Bison View Lodge and Cabins
Community Information:
The Tray Mountain Community sits on 4 acres overlooking Anna Ruby Falls Gorge and Unicoi state park and has Mt. Yonah as a back drop. You can see about 40 miles from the cabin. The cabin is three and one half miles up a forestry service road off Hwy 75. However, it sits on top of Tray Mountain and is surrounded by 55,000 acres of national forest. Very Secluded!!! Very little traffic but what traffic does pass cannot see the cabin from the road. The cabins are less than 3 miles from the Appalachian Trail.
The Tray Mountain area includes unique sites such as the incomparable Ramp Cove, with the finest stand of giant buckeyes in Georgia and a wildflower paradise. Exciting boulder fields are common here just under the Appalachian Trail and off the Kelly Ridge. The Kelly Ridge spur provides a superb hike similar to the great Duncan Ridge in the Blood Mountain area. The huge rock outcrop at the Mill Creek Roughs is worth exploring. Tray Mountain itself, with its superlative boulder field, is one of the major overlooks in the Georgia Blue Ridge. The southern part of this area is 9,702-acre Tray Mountain Wilderness.
Swallow Creek – The northern portion of the Tray Mountain area is largely the watershed of Swallow Creek. While not designated wilderness, much of this area is wild and primitive. It has two outstanding high ridges-The Blue Ridge (from Dick’s Gap to Kelly Knob-4,276 feet) and the Kelly Ridge. The walk along both is easy, and the scenery is rewarding
