Cherokee Lake Park — Attraction in Thomasville

The only thing negative I have to say about the parkbis about the ant piles that were everywhere! We even had a big one at the corner of our pavilion that we all stayed away from all day, but my 4 year old niece accidentally stepped on the part that was on the concrete and ants started going everywhere. We didn't have any bug spay with us, so we ended up just leaving the park. We would of stayed and continued my Uncle's 80th Birthday, that we came from Florida, and places threw out Georgia but all the other pavilions were taken. But really otherwise the park is so beautiful, and they have very nice sidewalks that go completely around the lake for running, jogging, walking, dog walking ect plus a really nice dock. Also the duck and swans I loved. (Don't bring bread to feed them, it's not allowed, plus it's not good for them anyway) Oh and they also have benches to sit along your way, and picnic tables under the pavilions, and small grills. And a restroom that was clean, and handycap accessable. Also a playground, with swings too. We had a nice time, I'm sure you will too, just watch out for...

Cherokee Lake in Thomasville, a nice place to visit. The walk around the lake is one mile, at least if my GPS is correct. It's a much nicer walk than four times around a 1/4 mile track.

There are a few grills and both covered and open picnic areas. We have not used the grills so I don't know how practical they are.

There is a playground for children but I have not paid much attention to it since we did not have grandchildren with us.

There are a lot of ducks and geese but you are asked not to feed them so leave the bread at home. I guess they are fed sometimes, since I've had one peck my butt while eating at a table.

There are a lot of apartments near this lake with some paved roads leading into the walking path. There seems to be more kids on bicycles and skateboards on the path now, even a few golf carts. There used to be an occasional bicycle cop ride through but I've not seen any police presence here lately.

Great place to walk, counterclockwise please, try not to get run over by a bicycle, skateboard...

Best place in the world to me besides home. Good walking, and running track, I think a mile. Several laps will equal a mile if not. Great view. Some geese are here most of the year, and I think that I have seen a couple swans over the years as well. Picnic tables under pavilions, playgrounds for the kids, great place for photographs!! Love the view any time of year! Fountain is in the middle of the lake for your viewing pleasure! There are sit down spots at certian points around the lake for viewing the scenery from different points of view. Great date idea! Quiet, even if it's busy. Populated most of the day, if you are concerned about security. There is not official security, but plenty of trustworthy people who live in the community, and, there are lights all the way around the lake at night as well. The park is also located just beside a...
