While many people visit the area to fish or camp, Allatoona Lake also offers 14 Corps of Engineers Day Use Parks for public use. The parks offer a variety of recreation facilities including ball fields, fishing jetties, picnic tables, swimming beaches, horse-shoe pits, volleyball areas, and large picnic shelters. (The picnic shelters are ideal for family reunions, birthday parties or company gatherings and may be reserved in advance by calling 678-721-6700.)
A Facility Use fee of $4 per vehicle is charged at day use areas that have beaches. A $3 boat launching fee is charged at day use areas with boat launching ramps. A Corps of Engineers Annual Day Use Pass may be purchased for $30. The Corps of Engineers Annual Day Use Pass is honored at Corps of Engineers day use areas and boat launching ramps nationwide. Ten state, county and municipal parks located on the lake offer similar facilities and day use areas as well.
