Love this new found glory! I’ve brought friends and family back since finding it a few weeks ago. The trials all interconnect and lead to the water- love it. So many places to duck off along side the water to enjoy the rapids (or streams) depending on where you are. Picnic tables near parking areas (on the travel) with background soundscapes of the water to enjoy a meal, or walk down to the water and enjoy a getaway. Be careful going down the rocks (path depending) if knees or ankles need extra attention. The same for being near the water, it’s slippery and rapid, especially after a fresh rain. Depending on what parts of the trail, you get areas of elevation that can over look the water vs being in it. People come to fish, canoe, boat, fly fish, and swim in the water. They have camping. Primitive camp sites on the water (lazy river type, no shoals so no tranquil water sounds) but near water nonetheless. 7 sites on water, 2 across. Restrooms in camp area. Didn’t go in so not sure how they are inside. Overall, I always enjoy Factory Shoals and it’s low trafficked easy access to nature and water right in Newton County.
