Living in the North Georgia Mountains has its advantages - clear skies, fresh mountain air, and a much more relaxed atmosphere. However some of the bigger communities can leave you feeling like a mouse in a maze if you don't know where you are going. The Big Canoe Community has a smart system of letting you know where where you are in a subtle and sometimes funny way. Keep reading for more helpful information to guide you through your next trip to Big Canoe.
Your first visit to the Big Canoe Community may be a little bit confusing if you are on your own with nothing but a map! We have all been there at one point or another and it can be a challenge to say the least. Let's start with a few historical notes and hopefully enlighten any visitors to the Big Canoe Road Code. Where did the name Big Canoe come from in the first place? Believe it or not it was chosen as the winning name in a contest conducted by the original developer of Big Canoe, Cousins Properties way back when in the 1970's. The good thing about a name like Big Canoe is that it makes you say "What?" and then it sticks in your head. Pretty smart ad campaign.
The road structure has been published as an atlas titled Big Canoe Atlas which is very helpful but keep in mind you may not have it when you need it. Theme grouping has helped to organize and differentiate the neighborhoods in Big Canoe. For example, the Cherokee Neighborhood has Indian names such as Canacaught, Yanoo,and Ahyoka. The Equestrian Neighborhood has names like Hunters Trace, Yearling, Shetland Trace. The Nature Valley has tree names such as Dogwood, Chestnut Oak, and Sweetgum. The Indian Rocks Park neighborhood has funny animal names like Little Beaver, Crazy Bear, and Owls Brow.
The good news is that the whole experience in Big Canoe is truly "idyllic"!
PS - If you REALLY get lost look for the white arrows on top of the street signs. They will lead you back to the village of Big Canoe.
