Surrounded by rural countryside and the Chattahoochee National Forest, this quiet park in northwest Georgia offers outstanding fishing on two stocked lakes.
Visitors can hike along three miles of lake loop trails and relax in swings while watching for the many bluebirds that live in the park.
Access to the scenic 60-mile Pinhoti Trail is only a 1.6-mile hike from the park. Children especially enjoy the playground, feeding fish from the boardwalk and renting pedal boats.
A small campground and four cottages are nestled on tree-covered hillsides.
