Paddling on Marsh Creek is so much fun; you can stay the night at White Water Learning Center. If you're here at Orkin Lake, you could visit March Creek, and there's some out of the ordinary stuff to spot at Orkin Lake Dam close to Orkin Lake. There's so

No real put in spot because the water is only about 6 inches high. It's not deep enough to move. It's literally a stagnant cesspool now. Be afraid. 7-6-2008...

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...

White Oak Lake

I've lived less than a couple of miles from this lake and I didn't even know it existed until today while looking at google maps of the area around my house. I wonder how many people know about it? I wonder if it's on private property....
