Moccasin Creek State Park

There truly is something for all ages and ability levels at this 32-acre state park in the northeast corner of Georgia. The lovely 2,800-acre Lake Burton is the centerpiece, offering plentiful room for fishing, boating, and skiing. Rent a kayak, stand-up paddleboard or canoe, and take it all in. Seniors, kids under 11, and those with a Georgia disability fishing license enjoy private rights to the fully accessible fishing pier.

One of the most popular walking trails is a level, well-maintained path to Hemlock Falls. It's about 1.5 miles each way and an easy trot for most anyone. You're rewarded at the waterfall with a swimming hole and picture-perfect picnic spot. Be sure to tour the adjacent trout hatchery that's a blast for kids.

Moccasin Creek's campground contains 48 tent, trailer, and RV campsites, some right on the lake. Clean restrooms, a fish-cleaning station, Wi-Fi and gorgeous lake views. What else could you ask for at a peaceful, relaxed and family-friendly state park?
