     Sawnee Campground is a glorious local campground, and if you come at the right time of year, Amicalola Creek offers some wonderful whitewater. At Sawnee Lake you always meet someone from Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta; some nearby water includes Bentley Creek. Just can't get enough of Sawnee Lake. After a long day outdoors Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta North/Alpharetta is a tremendous site to spend a night or two, and soar down the rapids of Settingdown Creek in  
   a kayak. This lake is so wonderful. Sawnee Lake Dam is a lovely place close to Sawnee Lake, and visiting Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is just something you need to do if you haven't yet.
A large amount of rainfall falls at Sawnee Lake; March is the month that gets the most rain, and October on the other hand is the driest. There are other places here than Sawnee Lake, for example Cumming Twin Lakes; you can have a great hiking adventure along
 
               the Brookshire Creek Trail.

Simmons Lake
18 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...
