Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is one of the destinations in the vicinity of Lake Atha that are delightful to go to; a pretty lake like Lake Matthews is a splendid place to pop by. This lake is so wonderful. A quick spree to Pew Creek close to Lake Atha is a pleasant idea, and dry warm beds await you at Comfort Suites Lawrenceville. Atha Dam is a lovely place next to Lake Atha, and hiking along the Brookshire Creek Trail is wonderful fun. Lake

| | Atha gets a large amount of water; all through the month of March you get the most rain around here, and October on the other hand is the driest. There's so much to do here at Lake Atha that you need to camp here for a while, Stone Mountain Park is a brilliant place for that; La Quinta Inn and Suites Snellville/Stone Mountain is a pleasant place to get some rest. Do explore Lake Zora right next door to Lake Atha, it's a gorgeous lake, and there are plenty | |

Simmons Lake
 | 16 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... |
