Fishing Pond
For a peaceful experience in the great outdoors, we recommend visiting Beaver Lake within the Coosawattee River Resort. This well-stocked, catch-and-release fishing pond is serene and welcoming to anglers ready to cast a line (no fishing license required for cabin guests).
It’s also a lovely spot to sit on a boulder, eat a picnic lunch, and watch the water ripples, a flock of geese, and adorable ducks.
Fireplace Room
Take a break from the great outdoors and head inside for a spell at the Fireplace Room. This rentable space within Coosawatee River Resort is great for private parties or group meetings. To reserve your slot, call the Reservations Office at 706.640.4038.
