There are other spots here than Thurmond Lake, for example Fredrick Lake. There's so much to do here at Thurmond Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Twin Lakes Park is a great site for that. Visiting Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is just something you need to do if you haven't yet; playing golf is lots of fun at Woodmont Golf Club. In the event that you don't mind getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on

| | Amicalola Creek; hiking along the Brookshire Creek Trail is pleasant fun. Thurmond Lake usually gets a lot of rain; most of the rain falls during March; October is when it's the driest.
Whohoo, so much fun stuff in one place! Thurmond Lake rocks! If you came to camp Marietta Campground is a pleasant site to do that, and Thurmond Lake Dam is not far at all from Thurmond Lake. Dry warm beds await you at Doubletree Hotel Atlanta/AlpharettaWindward, and Shell | |
