The Lodge at Smithgall Woods

Once the private estate of millionaire conservationist Charles A. Smithgall Jr., this secluded retreat is located on a 5,555-acre Heritage Preserve in North Georgia near Helen. Smithgall Woods high-country cuisine makes use of local foods such as fresh trout and herbs and vegetables from an on-site garden. The clear waters of Dukes Creek are some of the finest for fly fishing in the southeast and offer year-round catch-and-release trout fishing. An Orvis Fly-fishing School is held on site from March through Mid-June. The lodging is distinctively upscale and offers five well-appointed cottages with a total of 14 available guestrooms. Hike to Dukes Creek Falls, wade the creek, view wildlife or experience a traditional campfire setting. The property is at the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest offering a true wilderness retreat with a civilized touch. The Lodge at Smithgall Woods is a popular corporate retreat setting. Also ideal for a weekend get away and for intimate weddings.
