Don Carter State Park

Looking to beat that sweltering summer heat? Head on over to Don Carter State Park and dive into the refreshing Lake Lanier. Visitors will enjoy a large sandy beach with a bath house, swimming, boating, or taking their stand up paddle board for a spin out on the lake’s calm waters. Back on land there are ample hiking and biking trails to explore the hardwood forest. While you’re here you might as well make a night of it and rent one of the fancy two-bedroom cabins, set up your RV, or go primitive style and pitch a tent. Either way you’ll be swinging in a hammock and gazing out at the beautiful scenery!
