Living in Whitesburg, Georgia
Whitesburg is a small city in southeastern Carroll County on the Chattahoochee River, about 34 miles (straight line) from downtown Atlanta, on about 2.8 square miles of land. Carroll County's McIntosh Reserve Park, a 1,750-acre riverfront park, is just west of town.
Why Choose Whitesburg?
Carroll County describes McIntosh Reserve Park as a 1,750-acre park on the Chattahoochee River, used by hikers and equestrian riders. The county-maintained park road meets Georgia Highway 5 about 2 miles west of Whitesburg.
The park's history page explains that Carroll County bought the first 527 acres in 1978. That land includes the site of Creek leader William McIntosh's plantation, Lochau Talofau (Acorn Bluff), where he was killed on May 1, 1825.
Buying near the river or a creek? Look up the address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you make an offer, and ask your lender early whether flood insurance will be required. Also ask whether the home is on city water and whether it uses a septic system, so the inspection can cover it.
