Beautiful Howell Lake has much to offer visitors. This lake is so wonderful. Howell Lake is fine enough to spend more than a day at, Stone Mountain Park Family Campground is a fine local campground. And that's not all you can do here at Howell Lake. The view of gorgeous Stone Mountain near Howell Lake is great, and Lanford Lake Dam is a gorgeous place, beyond doubt worth taking a look at. For the period of the summertime here at Howell Lake, high temperatures

choice, unsurprisingly you could also pop by Lanford Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. Dry warm beds await you at Marriott Stone Mountain Inn Conference Center, and hey, Little Stone Mountain Creek is a glorious local stream.
A glorious site to camp here at Howell Lake is Stone Mountain Park, and a tour to Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is worthwhile. Howell Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; March is when you get the most rain here;
October meanwhile is the driest month. Looking for something in the neighborhood of Howell Lake? Rock Bridge Lake is close by, and whitewater paddling is perfect on Yellow River.

There's still a small pond there, quite shallow, in the areas closet to Briarcliff Road and Echo Lake, but nothing like what I once knew; over the years even the trees and undergrowth have reclaimed most of the area the lake had once covered when I was a boy... |
