Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Georgia, Sweetwater Wingshooting boasts a rich history that dates back to the early 1700s. Sweetwater Creek, a key feature of the area, has been a staple for both resident and migratory dove and waterfowl. One of the last four of its kind in the county is the historic rock dam that James Mattox built in 1767. With the establishment of the Stage Coach Inn in 1803, the area became a restful stop for travelers, blending history with the tradition of wingshooting.
