[View of Big Frog Mountain Area of Cherokee National Forest](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5274053.jpg) This area is known for solitude and backcountry adventure, with Big Frog Wilderness being a destination for backpacking, day-hiking and hunting. The area offers about 35 miles of backcountry trails, some of which climb to over 4,000 feet. In addition to the backcountry hiking opportunities, the area is also managed as a Black Bear reserve. Try snorkeling at Conasauga River, renowned for remarkable fish viewing. Pitch a tent at Tumbling Creek or Sylco Campgrounds. Big Frog Area Map Big Frog Area Guide
This area also includes the Cohutta wilderness, lots of great backcountry hiking trails
We saw beautiful winter landscapes and even a couple of bears frolicking and running past.
If I could think one one word , other than beautiful to describe Big Frog .. it would be HOG . Big Freaking Hog . If you're familiar with Hogzilla , I believe I met his cousin . Big Frog is fantastic , and when you learn the Forest Service roads , you can be at the river in short time . But really , there are some fantastic hog [ an other animals / game ] there . Of course the hiking is wonderful , if that's your thing . The roads are decent , though I'd recommend a Pickup or SUV . They don't have to be 4 wheel drive , just a sturdy suspension and some clearance . I't a lovely place and it backs up to the Cohutta Wilderness which is massive
