About Big Canoe

An Hour Away from Atlanta - Pickens County, Georgia

The Big Canoe is conveniently nestled in the foothills of the serine Appalachian Mountains, just one hour north of Atlanta. Big Canoe is considered to be the south’s premier mountain community. This private community allows for smooth accessibility for those commuting to and from Atlanta, Chattanooga, or Greenville.

Three Times the Lake, Three Times the Fun

The community is home to three pristine lakes allowing for swimming, boating, and fishing. The largest of the three, Lake Petit, is 111 acres and an angler’s oasis with it being home to a variety of fish species, including rainbow trout, white crappie, and largemouth bass.

Next in line is Lake Sconti, which is an excellent place for canoeing and row boating enthusiasts. The smallest of the three is Lake Disharoon, located at the swim club and is set aside solely for swimming and recreational use.
