Moccasin Creek State Park

Nestled within the Chattahoochee National Forest on the shores of Lake Burton, Moccasin Creek State Park welcomes visitors to 32 acres of relaxation. Despite its mountain location, the park is relatively flat which makes it a great spot for kids to ride their bikes, people to park larger RVs, and wheelchair accessibility.
Lake Burton is a prime spot for water skiing, boating and fishing. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and canoes can be rented. There is a playground, wildlife observation tower and 3 miles of hiking trails. The park has one picnic shelter and a smaller campsite for tents and RVs. The park’s central location makes it a great jumping off spot for exploring nearby waterfalls, mountain bike trails, shops and restaurants.
