This box has come up missing. I don't have the gumption to re-establish it right now. This old quarry is still one of the coolest places in North Georgia. Just east out of Hiawassee on SR 76 (approx. 1 mile) you cross a small bridge over an arm of Lake Chatuge. If you go past the High School, you've gone too far. There is a small convenience store called the Lakeview Store on your left at Shake Rag Road. Take Shake Rag up about 1.5 miles past a small farm on your right, past some mobile homes to where the road splits. Go left up past a new assisted living complex that is half built on the left. Wind up and up (about 1 mile) on the paved road past some homes on your right to where the road goes off to the right and turns to dirt. If you go straight on the pavement it goes into a private home (wrong way). Go as far as your car/truck can handle it, it gets pretty steep and rocky. I usually park at the second turn out and walk the last mile. The road splits again. Go left to the old quarry not to the cell phone towers. Good luck, enjoy the view!
