     Not far from Ballard Pond you get some tremendous water scenery at Suwanee Lake Dam, and Chattahoochee River has a tremendous whitewater paddling spot close by. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Rodeway Inn Forest Park, and a splendid site to camp here at Ballard Pond is White Water Express. This lake is so wonderful. At Ballard Pond through the long summer days highs are in the 80's while overnight lows are ordinarily in the 60's. The cold  
   days of the wintertime come with highs in the 40's, and throughout the dark hours in the winter at Ballard Pond temperatures fall to the 20's.
Ballard Pond is not the only spot close by, Forest Lake is a close by lake, and playing golf is lots of fun at College Park Municipal Golf Course. If you get bored of Ballard Pond, you could also check out close by Shellnut Lake, and if you need a place to stay Econo Lodge Atlanta Airport East is a nice choice. If you
 
               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.

Serenity...Nature...Birds...Fresh air...That's how I would describe this lake.....

Buena Vista Lake
It's not only accessible but it's very accessible. For some bizarre reason the County put in a boat ramp, so get out there and paddle around a bit. Pick up some trash left by some people and storm runoff while your at it....I was born and grew up in the community surrounding this lake from 1955 to 1969. Too bad it is not more easily accessible....Buena Vista Lake is just a tiny pond in a city park. There is no reason for tourists to visit unless you happen to be staying in the neighborhood and want to take a walk....

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...
