Is there a road directly to the lake? Says Larry Schnee Constitution Lakes is an old brickworks that was closed down about 50 years ago. The     lakes were created by rainwater filling the holes left from digging the clay out and the canals connecting it to the nearby South River. DeKalb County bought the 125 acre property in 2003 and added a parking lot,a paved walkway down to the lakes and a boardwalk around one end of the lakes. It's a good spot for birding, with water and shore birds as well as forest birds in the woods around the lakes. There is a train track- still used- on the back side of the lakes with a road alongside that goes to the South River where the train crosses over. DeKalb County allows fishing in all their lakes, and the people who fish at Constitution Lakes routinely leave all their trash there. As more people       learn about Constitution Lakes, we hope to be able to educate them about being good stewards to enlist their help in maintaining this area. There is a clean-up day scheduled for April 17, 2010 beginning at 9 am in the parking lot. Says Joy Carter            Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast
