Acworth, GA
On the northwestern side of metro-Atlanta is the huge reservoir of Lake Allatoona. Red Top Mountain State Park is a sprawling state park that takes full advantage of the great location for wonderful lake views, trails that run along the lakeside, fishing, swimming areas, numerous camping areas, and perhaps most significantly several large marina ports such that you always see a number of large boats out on the lake during the summer. The area has a long pre-Civil War iron mining history and the park maintains and old reconstructed cabin from the height of that period as well.
