The Fishing Creek Farms team is dedicated to creating enjoyable and relaxing hunting experiences for small groups of family and friends. In keeping with the farm’s beginnings as a family retreat, we believe in maintaining an intimate setting in which close compatriots can enjoy the traditions of their sport by day, and relax with a good meal, good wine, and good company around the fire pit by evening. Our hunts are never focused on trophies or numbers, but rather a relaxed and considerate environment for our hunters, their guests, and the wildlife.

One of the most important battles of the American Revolutionary War to be fought in Georgia occurred in Wilkes County, some 12 miles from present-day Washington, Georgia. Here on February 14, 1779, a force of 400 patriots, in a surprise attack, defeated a force of Loyalists twice their number. Savannah, Georgia, had recently been captured by the British on December 29, 1778, as part of the British “southern strategy” to pacify the South and separate it from the Middle and Northern rebellious colonies. Southern Loyalists welcomed the British arrival, while Southern patriots began to prepare for battle. Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell, captured Savannah for the British with 3,500 men, soon came under the command of Brigadier General Augustine Prevost. Savannah had been defended by the American General Andrew Williamson from South Carolina, but he withdrew from the city when Campbell approached, fighting a rear-guard action with his roughly 1,000 Georgian and South Carolinian militia men.

Stepping onto this beautiful piece of property will take you back in time. Walking with your friends or clients and watching the dogs work is such an amazing sight to see. Then all of a sudden they lock down on a covey of quail. As you walk up your heart is beating faster and then the quail bust into the air. That is what makes quail hunting so spectacular.
1575 Elberton Road, Lexington, GA, USA
The culmination of a nearly decade long mission to save and propagate plants from the metro Atlanta area threatened by development and invasive species. The original idea was inspired by an area of southwest Atlanta strewn with large boulders and peppered with native plant species known locally as Boat Rock. Popular with rock climbers, the area had been mostly spared the developer’s bulldozer blade until the housing boom of the 1990’s and 2000’s slowly crept its way. The Southeast Climber’s Coalition (SCC) established a small woodland climbing preserve in 2002, but the surrounding area was still subject to the whims of land developers.
