Riverside Day Use Area

Great for family and dogfriendly parks.Good for fishing 🎣 and disc basket.* Soccer ⚽field and volleyball🏐 net. Be aware this place is a Dam * when you hear the Alarms off get out the river.
The entrance is $5 they accept card.

Great little park. Cost $5 to park. Includes several pavilions and picnic tables for birthday parties and picnics. The park has a the beautiful Etowah River running beside the whole park. The ablations dam is just upstream from the park. The water comes from the bottom of the lake making the water ice cold year around. Also includes a full 18 hole disc golf course with many of the holes being shaded. Pretty small over about a great local park.

We did the hiking trails. Just WOW!!!!! It's absolutely beautiful with the stream and ferns. The trail was a challenge too. My girls and myself love a challenge 🤩🤩. We only saw a few other hikers and of course they were friendly. Once we were done we dipped our feet in the River to cool off. This is a perfect area for the kids to play, picnic too.

Stunning. Beautiful. If you wanna hike, sit outside and picnic, fish or even a great place to put the kayaks in to go down river. One of my favorite places off the etowah river. Well kept.

What a great find! Maps routed us here after searching day use parks. This is a great area for fishing, outside activities with friends or family, lounging near (or playing in) the river, trails, and multiple targets for disc golf. It wasn't overcrowded, even on the weekend, and had room to spread out and enjoy some nature. We'll be back again!

First time visitor and will definitely go back. Beautiful view and family atmosphere. Park is clean. I brought my 8 year old son and our dog(must be leashed). Beautiful clean water. We fished for a short time and spent the remainder of our time rock hunting. This location of the Etowah River has the only known mineral deposit of Blue Lazorite in Northwest Georgia. Excellent finds that day and a lots of wading and educational fun for my kiddo. Perfect day!

Nice park along the banks of the Etowah River and below the Allatoona Dam. This side costs $5 to enter as it is a pay and park area. The area on the opposite side is free and nice too but doesn't have the same water and dam views. This side has frisbee golf, picnic shelter, restrooms, playground, and several picnic table overlooking the water. See and hear the water churning over the rocks. Can't see that on the free side. Beautiful scenery and spot for pictures. Only complaint was the grass looked rather unkempt which you'd think for $5 per car (a relatively new fee) it would be kept up better. Could have been due to recent rainy water. You must park and walk to the water (a few steps away) for the full effect. A ride by won't do it.

Great place to go for the day. Just remember to pay $5.00 for the day. They have a payment kiosk at the front gate. Pet friendly. Horseshoes, volleyball net. The biggest draw is the Disk Golf big course. They have pinic provilans and restrooms.

The trail off of the park is very changeling. It doesn’t have a great view but if you want to build endurance for hiking it’s a great trail

$5.00 per car for day use, great views, nice place with a huge space with tables, bbq area and bathrooms.

Spent time with the family, beautiful day.
Great day, really nice area. We will be back again.

Very perfect picnic I have ever had.. Really energies atmosphere with natural beauty all around.

Great place to hike, disc golf and fish. Exceptional park attendant. Great guy.

A great place to relax, enjoy the river view, enjoy a picnic, have great family fun.

This is a favorite spot. It has a nice covered picnic/barbecue pavilion area that will sear a lot of people. It has a really nice barbecue pit, trash cans, a soft ball area, a soccer field, nice restroom facilities and a boat launch ramp into the Etowah River. It cost $5.00 day use or you can rent the entire pavilion area. I have used it for birthday parties...VERY NICE and it has a children's playground.

Beautiful and clean area, gorgeous scenery

Nice place to hangout, picnic and trail.
Got playground for kids. Covered picnic area. (Needs reservation if visiting with more people).

Got equipments for football, shuttle and Frisbee. River side dining places are also available.

Should be alert to the alarm from the water release from the dam. Could see considerable water flow increase when it happens.

Peaceful and uncrowded recreational area. The river was soothing as we ate our picnic dinner. We were able to play Frisbee uninterrupted and enjoyed walking some of the trails. An enjoyable trip all around.

Beautiful COE Park, play area, picnic area. The Pro. Disk Golf Course is amazing challenging a lot of climbing.

Five dollar fee to come in and have fun, picnic, fish, cookout, reserve a shelter for a family or group party, along the river.

This is a great place to go to spend the day! You can walk or run, there’s a playground, bathrooms, frisbee golf course, grills, picnic tables, soccer goals, and a beautiful view of the water! It cost $5 for a day pass, but it’s well worth it. I love when I can find a new place to explore and soak in nature!
