Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Vogel adventure.
Georgia’s second-oldest state park is home to some of the state’s most scenic landscapes.
At the base of Blood Mountain, Vogel State Park occupies a beautiful section of the Chattahoochee National Forest and provides excellent views of Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. The park’s 22-acre lake is the setting for paddling, swimming, and fishing for trout and bass, while hikers can explore 17 miles of trails that range from a challenging summit of Blood Mountain to easier strolls that offer mountain and waterfall views. Don't skip the museum, which tells the story of how the Civilian Conservation Corps built the park during the Depression. Vogel State Park Campground has 90 campsites that accommodate RVs and tents, and deeper in the park are 18 walk-in backcountry sites.
The most popular time to visit the park is in spring and summer, with visitors drawn to the designated swimming section in Lake Trahlyta, the beach, and the blooming wildflower-lined trails. Fall is also an excellent time to visit to see the spectacle of the Blue Mountains’ leaves bursting into rich reds and oranges and to enjoy some of the annual Fall Festival activities.
