The Fern Dell, over 70 acres, is one of the largest in the nation.
Millions of ferns—mostly New York, Chain, Christmas, Lady, Royal, and Cinnamon—form a dense carpet in the woodland glade.
A stream fed by hundreds of springs winds through this valley.
Walkways are carefully carved through the forest with several raised viewing decks above the stream and bogs.
Wooden benches adorn the walkways and decks.
Waterfalls echo in the valley as the stream twists and turns until fading out of sight.
One of the few remaining North Georgia bogs has an ancient American holly glade with native bog plants .
Beautiful mountain laurel blossoms float through The Fern Dell along its stream.
