Catch a fish in one of the resort's two well-stocked lakes.  You'll find bass, bluegill, and catfish, as well as frogs, tadpoles, minnows, ducks, and geese. For serious trout fishing, the cold waters of the Chestatee River and other trout streams are only a few miles away. Also, the nationally known Smithgall Woods Conservation Area is about 30 minutes away.

Rainbow Lake is the larger of the two lakes on property.  There are picnic tables to enjoy the scenery as well as canoes to catch those hard to find fish.

This clandestine little lake acts as a mirror for the beautiful mountain and sky vistas that surround the property.  Hidden in a small clearing, those looking to get away from it all, will find tranquility in this secret spot.

This fish, measuring well over 2 feet in length, was caught by an RRanch visitor at Crystal Lake.
