Sweetwater Creek State Park is an excellent place to go if you enjoy the outdoors and hiking. Trails range from easy to quite strenuous. The trails are nice to walk or run on. Ten years ago, the park was very rugged and trails were sometimes difficult to navigate, but the park has been revitalized and now boasts camping, Yurt camping, revitalized trails that are roomy and paved with gravel, making a trek through the woods pretty pleasant. There is a lake to fish or picnic nearby. The historic Sweetwater Ruins are fairly easy hike in. The ruins sit next to the creek, which is magnificent. The roaring waters not only provide a beautiful sight, but also cool, refreshing waters. This place is a wonderful way to spend the day with family. The park also offers an interpretive center that explains the animals found in the park as well as the history. This park is one of the most visited state parks in Georgia. It's a break away from the often rushed live of living in the city or suburbs. Take a day and go visit the park. I'm sure you...
Read moreSweetwater is in my book a must see. Whether you live nearby or are traveling past, take some time to stop. It is absolutely breath taking beautiful. You can visit the lake or walk the creek. It is taken care of, kept clean and free of trash. You can follow many trails, walking the lake or the creek.
The bate store in on the lake and the store attendants are super friendly and informative. You can purchase any supplies which you may need, from fishing line, lures, gear, live baits and much more. Maps are supplied if needed. Though the shop is smaller in size you will not be dissatisfied with the selection. You will find just about anything you would need. No matter your style of fishing!
All in all the is 💯 hands down one of my favorite...
Read moreSuch a great family friendly park. We love feeding the ducks, some of them will come right up to you. You can rent paddle boats, kayaks, and other water toys... Really cool! That's just the beginning. Head further in and hike down to the rapids where you can jump and play on the rocks. Set up shop and have a picnic! It can be busy and parking sucks, bad! Doesn't take away from this gem just down the road...
