    This is still a beautiful park, but in January 2022, you can no longer pay a daily use fee if your…read morenot a local county resident. You must pay an annual fee of $300. I came back to enjoy this beautiful park because it held such great memories for me. It is Labor Day weekend and there were 2 other cars in the parking lot. I left because I didn't want to have to pay a hefty fine if the park ranger came around. It's a shame really. Charge a day use fee, but allow others to enjoy the park as well without having to pay such an exorbitant fee.

    This beautiful lake 4 decades in the making features an amazing 650 acre lake. We saw a few people…read moreout that said they got a few bites but did not catch any fish. My BF grew up in the area and says this new park/lake has all of the fish that was once housed in Line Creek Parks lake. Long story short it sounds like the two lakes got combined and is now a bigger better lake known as Lake McIntosh. I believe the park opened in July 2013. The entrance that we used is at the end if TDK Blvd and I believe the complex was called Southpark something :-) . It's a 1-2 minutes from the PTC Airport. If you blink you will miss it so be on the lookout. Turn off Joel Cowan Pkwy onto TDK Blvd and get your $10 ready! There is a paved walking trail, restrooms, a gazebo, benches along the trail, a playground for the kids and much more! You can dock your boats here too. Fishing requires a GA Fishing permit. There is a $10 park entrance fee if you are NOT a resident of Fayette County. You can bring your pets as long as they remain leashed and of course you should make sure to clean up after Fido or Kitty! This is PTC so you have the option of jumping in one of the family Golf Carts (Apparently you can rent them as well) or your Automobile to get there. There is parking there for both. Unfortunately, we took the golf cart because I wanted the experience of riding around PTC in a golf cart. Of course, it was a scorcher that day. Now, my Father told me often times that you should learn something new every day of your life. On this day,I learned to ride around PTC in the damn truck when it's 95 + degrees outside! I would have given a 5 Star but I need proof that there are fish up in the spot first and there is NO SWIMMING ALLOWED! ***We visited again in mid December 2015 and were happy to see that the fish are finally ready. We will be back to see how well we do once our boat is done with repairs.

You can enter the LINC from different locations in Newnan. I prefer entering off of Lower Fayetteville and park adjacent from Newnan Centre. There's a bench & bike pump next to the parking lot, where you can prepare before your ride or walk. The entrance is beautiful before you enter the trail! If you make a right and follow the path all the way up, you come out on Newnan Crossing Boulevard (across from PROMENADE apartments at Newnan Crossing). You can cross the street and walk in a complete circle around Kroger & O'REILLY AUTO PARTS (on Summerlin Blvd) to add more time to your walk, if not you can stop where the trail ends, turn around and walk back to your starting point. Upon walking on the trail, you will enjoy natures beauty, depending on the time of day there a plenty people walking, running, or cycling. You may see wildlife, so be MINDFUL! I've only seen squirrels during my visits. In addition, Newnan Police Bicycle Patrol (in pairs) ride through to ensure safety and address any issues. The trail is family & pet friendly too!

    January 23, 2021…read more McIntosh Reserve is about an hour outside of Atlanta in Carroll County, Georgia. It is a a 527 are park home to some rich history and popular amongst equestrians, nature hiking, and boarders the Chattahoochee River and definitely a spot to cool off in the summer. The park has a good website: http://www.carrollcountyga.com/293/McIntosh-Reserve-Park I would take a peek at the events calendar. Would be nice to see some music festivals here. The River ran swiftly while we were visiting, and there is plenty of space to picnic or grill on the premises with park benches and covered seating under a nice pavilion. The park happened to host the Jerome Scales 10k race held by the Atlanta Track Club on this day, which is why we were here. (Otherwise I might never have know about it.) We had a parking pass and entered the park, and were directed to park on a wide field. Went down to register and obtain our bibs at around 7:30am on a chilly morning. Thankfully we had a cloudless sky and the promise of a a sunny morning. The races began at 8am with 20 socially distanced athletes wearing masks setting off every 5 minutes. My time slot was 8:20 and Nicole was at 9:05 which was perfect because we could both race! The course was completed in 2.5 loops with 50% grass, 33% hard pack gravel, and 17% roads with a good hill. I was happy to come in 3rd overall. Nicole ran a slightly less competitive time but had fun too. History: The Reserve is named for William McIntosh, Jr., a prominent Creek Indian leader and planter. The plantation was known as Lochau Talofau, which in English means "Acorn Bluff". It is adjacent to Acorn Creek. McIntosh lived in a modest home, a two-story log house with a central, open "dog run" passage on both floors. The house doubled as an inn for travelers. A reconstructed house is open to park visitors today. In 1825, McIntosh signed the second Treaty of Indian Springs. The treaty essentially sold all Creek lands in Georgia and Alabama to the United States government; McIntosh was allowed to keep his plantation in exchange for signing the treaty. The treaty had been opposed by the Creek National Council and it violated the Law, the Code of 1818. The Council ordered the execution of McIntosh and other signatories for having committed a capital offense against the government by ceding communal lands, and he was executed at his home in 1825. McIntosh's single-plot, military grave may be found just across the road from the reconstructed house. Carroll County acquired Lochau Talofau in 1978; the plantation now lies within McIntosh Reserve boundaries.[1] McIntosh Reserve Park was closed for several months in 2009 and 2010, following the September 2009 flooding on the Chattahoochee River. The park was scheduled to reopen for Memorial Day weekend, 2010. Looking forward to our next visit.

However, in recent visits, there are a number of issues that are causing my decision to not go to this park anymore. 1. There is an elderly woman who is bringing her older lighter brown female dog into the park that has attacked my 4 month old female puppy viciously 3 times. At one visit, the older lighter brown female dog was already in the park and attacked my female puppy immediately as my puppy entered the park. I was able to separate them, and the elderly woman scolded her dog, and I went ahead on in with the assurance of the elderly woman that she would control her dog. But a few minutes later, the older lighter brown female dog went after my female puppy even more viciously. After I separated them again, the elderly woman took her older lighter brown female dog out of the dog park. 2. Another day, this same elderly woman came to the park after I was already in the park and on the far side of the park. As is common practice for the dogs already in the park, many, if not all of them, rush to the entrance gate to greet the incoming dogs. My two small dogs were amongst four other dogs who all ran to the entrance gate to greet the incoming dog, which was the older lighter brown female dog, who immediately singled out my female puppy out of the group of dogs that had gone to the entrance gate and once again viciously attacked my female puppy. I happened to have notice the elderly woman getting out of her car and identified the older lighter brown female dog that had attacked my female puppy previously, so I was quickly making my way to the entrance gate, but the older lighter brown female dog had already started viciously attacking my 4 month old female puppy. I was able to swoop up my female puppy and also my male puppy and immediately left the dog park. The elderly woman, whose dog attacked my dog, made no effort to apologize, or make sure my dog was ok. This elderly woman should not be allowed to bring her vicious dog into the dog park. 2. A Sunday visit to the dog park later in the early evening one of my dogs jumped up onto the table under the canopy and fortunately I was near by and was getting him down off the table, but what had caught his immediate attention was someone had left a bunch of religious booklets across the table top with beef jerky pieces laid on top of each of the booklets. I appreciate folks wanting to exploit dog park visitors with their religious beliefs, but leaving beef laying out with the booklets shows an ignorance and complete lack of respect for the rules and common sense aspects of a dog park not to bring food products into the dog park, whether it is people food, dog food, dog treats, etc. and to try to lure the dogs in the park to the jerky so the pets owner sees their religious booklets is a vicious and mean thing to do. Many dogs could end up getting sick of the jerky, or worse choke on it and die. 3. Another time a family of wild kids came in with sack lunches and the kids running wild in the park. This caused a regular visitor to the park to leave without coming into the park. I am deadset against children being allowed to play in a dog park, since that is disruptive to the dogs... After all, dogs aren't allowed in children's parks... And the head of the family acted surprised when advised that people food was not allowed in the dog park... As I pointed that out, several dogs jumped up on the table and went after the bags of food as soon as the bags of food were placed on the table. Whoever is managing this park needs to take a more active role in making sure vicious dogs are kept out of the park and folks are better informed about not bringing any kind of food stuffs, snacks, etc. into the park. But... we responsible pet owners are able to self regulate... It is the folks who just simply don't care that ruin it for everyone else.

Visitors will find good signage that tells the story of the fateful day. The annual remembrance ceremony is moving and respectful of those from both armies who fell there. While Newnan was primarily a hospital town, the unplanned meeting of blue and gray in downtown spilled over into a farmer's quiet field a few miles away. In sad irony, the Union soldiers who aimed to free their brothers from the Andersonville POW camp were captured at Brown's Mill and wound up prisoners beside their intended beneficiaries.

    NEWNAN'S CIVIL WAR HISTORY!…read more Georgia has a very rich history when it comes to the Civil War and I love being able to explore that history every time I get an opportunity to do so. Brown's Mill Battlefield Park is a 104-acre site that is dedicated to the Confederate and Union soldiers who fought and died there on July 30, 1864, and to the Confederate and Union medical staff who attended to the wounded after the battle. The historic site, featuring walking trails and interpretive signs, is the only Civil War park south of Atlanta and one of only two in the nation featuring a cavalry battle. It is located a few miles southwest of downtown Newnan on Millard Farmer Road. The Battle of Brown's Mill was a significant battle that was fought on July 30, 1864, during the Atlanta Campaign. Union General McCook and his men were surprised and attacked at Brown's Mill while returning from destroying railroads, supply wagons and even personal property. McCook suffered a major defeat, and lost over 1280 men and countless supplies, while Confederate officer General Wheeler only lost just a fraction of that number (thanks to the assistance of about 1400 reinforcements). This battle had a significant effect on Sherman's decision to aggressively go after Atlanta and we all know how that ended. This site is a very large and isolated park, surrounded by woods. I could not imagine exploring this place alone and would only feel comfortable here with a large group during organized activities. I do hope that they have some commemorative activities scheduled so that the local community is able to learn about the history of this site and its role in the Civil War.
