| | Park Family Campground. Marriott Stone Mountain Inn Conference Center is a great place to get some rest, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Yellow River.
Rock Bridge Lake is a nearby lake that you could have a look at; Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is a nice local destination. Lanford Lake gets a good deal of water; the month with most of the rain is March; October is the month with the least moisture. | |

Simmons Lake
| Just thought you should know this, but Simmons Lake essentially doesn't exist anymore. I'm an Atlanta native who grew up in DeKalb County and attended Lakeside High School; back when I was a teenager I saw work done on the neighboring Echo Lake, which is surrounded by nice middle-class homes. From what I can tell, the lake was dredged, I guess in order to save it, and Simmons Lake (across Briarcliff Road) was essentially sacrificed for its sake, taking the excess silt from Echo Lake. 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... |
