High Falls State Park

The john boat right near the bouy for the dam reminded me of the movie Grumpy Old Men so I took a closer picture just to be sure.
Sure enough, it looked just like the movie. Those two guys fished the whole time we hiked. There was fog on the lake so it is kinda fuzzy.
 
 
 
 
 
Find the deer in this picture.

If you can't see it, here's a hint.
This is the above picture blown up to full size.

 
I'm a sucker for bright fall leaves.

Yes, Emily, I did get the picture of the ground squirrel/chipmunk after he ran up the other side of the bank.
 
 
"The remains of the bridge on Old Alabama Road still partially stand to offer views of the shoals below the dam. The bridge, constructed in 1890, was mostly destroyed in the flood of 1994. The park's trails offer visitors scenic views of the largest waterfall in middle Georgia on the Towaliga River cascading over 135 feet to the base. Historic hikes lead to the foundation of the old grist mill and ruins of the old powerhouse. Also, the park contains a 650 acre (2.63 km²) lake that is sure to make a fisherman's day."
 
Fall colors were really in full swing this weekend.

Its a good thing they had large orange bouys to guard the dam. From the lake, it was impossible to see where the lake ended and the dam and waterfalls began.
