The Floyd location was opened in 1970. When GHC was founded as Floyd Junior College in 1970, this location was the original campus. It provides students with a full range of resources and activities. Students who attend this site will have access to a 20-acre tract behind the campus that has been set aside as a protected natural wetland ecosystem, which includes a 1,200-foot boardwalk and two observation platforms. The Floyd location is also home to Paris Lake, where students may use canoes, kayaks, or paddle boards in the water or enjoy the outdoors from the pavilion or loop trail.<\/p>\n<p>The Floyd location is in Floyd County, just six miles south of Rome, which is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and built at the confluence of the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers, forming the Coosa River. Floyd County encompasses the Rome Braves (Minor League Class A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves), the Chieftains Museum &amp; Major Ridge Home, and Historic Cave Spring.
