For centuries, before the white man inhabited this area, and long before there was a Lake Burton, this was the land of the Cherokees. A land of mountain trails and virgin forest. A sanctuary of clear water streams and unpolluted air. Many, many years later, after the construction of the Lake, the MacConnel family began Camp Cherokee for Boys. Led by Jan Mac for decades, hundreds of little boys enjoyed their summers here and grew towards manhood. The natural beauty and serenity of the land, along with Jane’s enthusiastic encouragement and spiritual values, provided the ideal surroundings for youngsters to play and learn about the world around them. In memory of Jane, and the Camp, each lot bears the name of a cabin once inhabited every summer by the smiling faces of adventurous boys. This is a very special place. We extend the right hand of friendship to all that visit. Take your time, look around, relax, and listen. You will feel the “Cherokee Spirit.” There is youthful laughter filtering with the wind through the trees. Fresh mountain air sweeps down to cool water shoreline. The Spring is named in Jane Mac’s memory, as a Devotional Spring, where all are invited to spend some tranquil time. This is Jane’s temple, with a green carpet of moss, pillars of trees, and stained glass windows of sunshine trickling through the overhead canopy of trees. The rock pews adorning the hillside are open to all. Enjoy your visit. Take a stroll. We hope you love it here at Point Cherokee as much as we do.
