Warwoman WMA (Georgia) is located in the far northeast corner of the state in Rabun county. One of the steepest areas that you will ever hunt, the views are spectacular. Much of the area is above 2500 feet and four-wheel drive is almost mandatory. There are several creek crossings throughout the nearly 16,000 acres. Deer sightings are limited and very few signed out at the check station each year. Even fewer are quality bucks. Black Bear sightings are more numerous if you put in the time and miles. Sarah’s Creek meanders through the area as well. Reports of trout success is fair here and the creek is stocked from time to time. During spring rains, the creek rises up and makes some crossings impassable, but most of the year hip waders are more than appropriate. Ruffed Grouse are located on this WMA, but with the steepness of the mountains it can be hard to navigate.
Sarah’s Creek Campground is managed by the National Forest Service and the sites are clean and beautiful. Many of them are located along the creek and most have a picnic table, lantern post, and fire pit. It isn’t completely primitive camping, but very close. Quiet and peaceful along all the sites, there are no city lights and therefore the stars are brilliant.
Before spending time here, be sure to have a map and compass. GPS and cell signal are almost non-existent here. It is nice to be away from city life, but this area is not for inexperienced outdoors people.
Overall rating- B+
