The park is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest and offers plenty of activities for everyone.  In the warmer months you can enjoy the sandy beach of the clear mountain lake or grab a peddle boat and enjoy the sun and mountain air.  If you like mountain biking, horseback riding or hiking, you will surely appreciate the gorgeous trails this park has to offer.

There are also tent, trailer, and RV campsites for rent.
