We drove by this Indian Mound on the way back from Sautee. As stated before, you can not get close to it and parking is not available. There is a historical marker close by.
[EC, 07/23/2021]No place to stop and get out. You are separated by cows and a fence. It's a drive by.

Nacoochee Indian mound is very easy to access from Helen, but unfortunately the large fence prevents getting any closer.
