Tugaloo State Park
Surrounded by woods and water, this park boasts some of the best views in Georgia.
Situated on a wooded peninsula on the shores of northeastern Georgia’s Lake Hartwell, Tugaloo takes its name from the Indigenous name for the river that (before the construction of a dam) flowed through it. The lake is a top spot for swimming, water skiing, sailing and boating: the park has a six-lane mega ramp used for large fishing tournaments and easy lake access. Hikers can follow two hiking trails that follow the lakeshore and wind through oak, walnut, mulberry and cherry tree-filled forests. RV and tent campers can choose between the developed campground’s 105 sites or 11 walk-in, primitive sites.

When to Go
Tugaloo State Park is open all year round and is at its most appealing in summer when you can cool off and splash around in the water. The lake is popular with swimmers and boaters during the warmer months, while the hiking trails see more traffic in the fall. Summer temperatures are typically between the low 80s to low 90s, dropping to the 60s and 70s in fall and spring and the mid-40s in winter.
