Big Canoe is North Georgia’s #1 Premier Gated Community without question. Encompassing over 8000 acres, and Seven enormous mountains, the community is also designated as an Audobon Nature Reserve. The community is practically a city unto itself with too many amenities to count. But I’ll try!
It has many lakes, a marina, swim club w /beach & outdoor pool, community chapel, state-of-the-art fitness center with indoor pool, tennis club (indoor & outdoor courts), hiking & jeep trails, youth scout hut, organized youth & adult sports programs, children's playground, ballfield, basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball field, wildflower meadows w/ walking trails, dozens of community organizations (garden club, woodcarvers, wildflower group, sowing club, hiking club, fishing clubs, artist association and dozens more - all adding to the community feel of Big Canoe), 3 restaurants, 27 holes of golf, golf clubhouse, country store and gas station, animal rescue organization, private fire dept., community maintained roads, a private security force, and its own very professional newspaper - all of this within the community gates. Outside the gates is the nearby Foothills Shopping & Grocery center which services the community. I could go on and on, but I will close with the following - Big Canoe is basically a self supporting community region, offering many (or more) of the cultural benefits one might expect in a north Atlanta suburb, yet with the peaceful natural surroundings of the mountains, and good neighborly community.
