Purtis Creek State Park, 3/16 - 17/18

63. Scampsite #22, this was a small site, but close to the water and to the hiking trails! There are lots of hiking trails and all are accessible from within the camping area.  The lake is a smallish fishing lake with a boat ramp, but we didn't see a lot of big fishing boats.  Sites 20 - 24 on the water are the best ones. At night we heard the howling of a large pack of coyotes that sounded very close to the park, perhaps just by the dam.  Our Scampsite also had a resident Cardinal who was adamant about attacking our truck, the interloper.

Nearby attractions: Athens is the county seat and has a lot to do!  We visited Athens Brewing for lunch and then went back up to Cedar Creek Brewery in Seven Points.  There is also at least one winery close to Athens.
