Chestastee Wildlife Preserve
The Preserve is a magical place, sitting on over 20 acres of gently rolling farmland and housing over 100 animals. Visitors can walk around or feed some of the animals. The pace of the Preserve is meant to be slow as guests’ meander among the exhibits. There are many places to sit throughout the Preserve, picnic tables to enjoy lunch or a snack, and a playground for the little ones. There are Group Educational, Special Needs/Support Programs , Civic Group/Community Work Days, Special Events/Parties and Intern Programs.(Dahlonega)
