haven’t been to Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, you should schedule some time for it if you're here, and it's a good idea to stop by Thames Creek.
Lots of rainfall falls at Ballard Pond; through March this area sees
the most rain, and the driest month of the year is September. This is no spot for people who don’t like to have fun. Camping at Camp Truitt-fulton is always a great experience, and the fine folks of Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta like to hang out nearby.

Too bad it is not more easily accessible....Buena Vista Lake is just a tiny pond in a city park.

Simmons Lake
| 14 miles away
My father had a home in the Echo Lake subdivision in the 1960's and the way I remember what happened to Simmons Lake was that that after Lakeside High School was built the earthen dam that held back Simmons Lake broke and that was pretty much the end of the lake. It wasn't repaired. The small lake next to Briarcliff Road was a separate lake that was fed from Simmons lake and in turn fed Echo Lake. This small lake appears from an aerial photograph to have nearly silted in. The culvert under Briarcliff Road from the small lake to Echo Lake was a favorite haunt for chasing snakes and turtles. I remember Echo Lake being dredged in the 1960's. Back then there was little Echo Lake at the other end of Echo Lake and it no longer exists. Little Echo Lake had a concrete dam that failed a couple of times and I suppose was given up on. The homes in Echo Lake subdivision sold in the 20-25K range. This area was a perfect place for my brother and me to spend summers. Dad told me years later that he wouldn't see us until dinner time in the summer because we spent all day doing things around these la... |
