Johns Mtn WMA has plenty of fun things to do, the pocket for kids baby to 100+YOA..splash around in the springs and creeks criss-crossing with plenty of picnic tables and grills around for everyone as well as easy access to restrooms. If you wanna break away from that, several trails to hike: the Keown Falls loop is very enjoyable(and can be done in two hours or less if you just wanna look and walk back). Id say go in spring or fall if you wanna see the waterfall, anytime if you just love being outside somewhere I go year round.
Also you can continue up the Johns Mtn Trail that takes you to the OverLook at the falls and the Overlook at the top that has one of the best views around. Adds maybe 3miles to the hike one way maybe...??? Take two cars, park one where you want to finish then drive to the next spot(ex. park overlook hike to falls, V.V) and you wont have to double back on trails it take maybe 5 mins going slow to drive from one to the other. These are a part of the Pinhotti trail, and you can ride horses, bikes, or hike. Pretty sure ATVs arent allowed on these trails.
Pretty decent trout fishing, nothing major just fun and good eating. They dont get much of a chance to grow as alot of folks fish there. Good hunting for deer and turkey if your into that. Camping is good for "camp spot" type camping, but its not for me as I dont care much for pitching a tent in a gravel square with eighty neighbors. lol Stupid people that have no care for others or the land recently put a stop to camping outside the pocket camp area. THANK YOU FELLAS!!!
