This popular park on Lake Allatoona is ideal for swimming, water skiing and fishing. Visitors can bring their own boats or rent from nearby marinas. A sand swimming beach is nestled in a cove and surrounded by trees, providing a great place to cool off during summer. Picnic shelters and group shelters may be rented for meetings, parties, reunions and other celebrations. Guests often stay overnight in rental cottages, a spacious campground or the park’s lakeside yurt. While best known for the 12,000-acre lake, Red Top Mountain is also a hiker’s haven. More than 15 miles of trails wind through the forested park, providing opportunities for exercise and nature photography. A short, paved trail behind the park office is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, welcoming guests to explore a reconstructed 1860s homestead. The gravel-topped 4-mile Iron Hill Trail is open to both hikers and bikers, offering pretty views of the lake’s shoreline.Named for the soil’s rich red color caused by high iron-ore content, Red Top Mountain was once an important mining area. Iron pour programs are occasionally held near the Vaughn Cabin behind the park office.

"Clean, safe park with all the usual amenities-camping, fishing, cooking areas-in nice scenic wooded area of rolling hills, small mountains next to Allatoona Lake.
Fun for everyone into hiking, nature, wildlife, etc."
"Nice state park with plenty of good-sized sites, many of them on the waters of Lake Allatoona. There is also a yurt available for rent. Bathhouses are clean and have great water pressure! All the camp hosts were friendly. There is a nice visitor center with snakes and turtles to view. There are plen..."ty of hiking trails from easy to strenuous. The lodge and restaurant have closed down, though.
