Clean and friendly beach. Small but inviting. Option to go canoeing or kayaking for $5 per hour and $2 each additional hour. This includes the use of life jackets. Everyone is so nice. There are picnic tables throughout the park as well as grills, restrooms and a boating area The boats are on the opposite ends from the beach so you are able to enjoy the beach in peace and quiet. I love this place. I will return. Oh, there is a $2 per person to enter the park.
Love this park! Only $2 per person and so much to do. Never crowded. Dog park, can rent private fenced areas for $1/hour. Frisbee Golf for only $1 per person. Lake Chapman is clean (no motors) and so peaceful. Lots of hiking trails. Very cute rental pavillions with stone fireplaces! Basketball, beach, volleball, softball...horse trails! They have everything!!
Sandy Creek has no fun activity. there is nothing to do, seriously nothing there's nothing for you at Sandy Creek Park. And you have to pay five dollars per car to get into it
My friend and I hiked the newly connected lakeside trail all the way around and enjoyed nature and the workout.
I never appreciated fully what a fantastic place this was to spend a day, especially with kids. The beach is gorgeous, and rarely crowded. The disc golf weirdos are always kind and polite. Something is always growing. A three-legged deer teaches us a life lesson. There are tons of picnic tables, basketball hoops, and tennis courts. But you'll probably skip em in favor of the hiking trails or Lake Chapman. Always clean, very accessible, and a great way to introduce the kids to nature. And I totally forgot the dog park!
It's wonderful to have a place where you can take the kids and dogs, where you can swim and jog or have picnics, fish, rent canoes, or just lay around in the grass! They have a great playground, my kids love it. We camp there in the summer and fall. It's a lovely place.
This is a very nice place to spend a day in the Georgia heat. There is something here for everyone. Playground and putt putt for the kids, old farm houses/church for the adults to discover, disc golf, and of course the water. If you are into Geocaching there are a couple in the Park and even more in the area. The Jackson County GeoTrail is a MUST.
My church has a picnic here every summer under a big shelter. It is very large and suitable for huge groups. There's a grassy area next to the shelter for inflatable toys and such. Ample parking is nearby. We usually have a golf cart picking up people and carrying them to the venue. Very nice place.
We enjoy fishing on the lake and have used the picnic shelters for get togethers. It is always clean. It has two playgrounds perfect for kids. Have seen the frisbee golf just have not taken the time to do it.
Another great place to hike in Athens. Many different trails so you won't get bored. There's a connecting trail to the larger park with a boardwalk.
