During the summer an on-site naturalist plans a series of activities and events to help familiarize guests with the flora and fauna surrounding them in the park. Mapped hiking trails are numerous at Watoga and vary from the scenic pathway encircling the lake to trails that wind through Watoga's deep forests. There are also several miles of intriguing pathways through the Brooks Memorial Arboretum. Horseback riding is available in the park, Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Pony rides are offered for the children.
Swimming is also available in the park during summer months.
A great way to cool off after a long hike. Watoga also offers a variety of cabins as lodging alternatives for your vacation. All linens and kitchen utensils are provided. The park also has two beautiful campgrounds that have sites for tent and trailer camping, picnic tables, grills, central bathhouses, and coin-operated washers and dryers. Some of the campsites offer electric hookup.
