Seasonal campsites open and provide lakeside access in eight locations near I-75. Summer is a time for families. There are 435 places to picnic , three area marinas with boat rentals , and some great sites to hold the annual family reunion on Lake Allatoona. Fall color and special events bring people to the mountains. This is an especially good time to visit due to mild temperatures continuing well into November.
Winter is the season often overlooked, but it's a great time for hiking and wildlife watching.
Cool temperatures and early frosts are nature's way of cleaning out underfoot, making hiking trails and area wildlife especially visible.
