My friends and I have been going on a lake excursion every year, and Paradise Rental Boats is who…read morewe trust. We have rented both a pontoon boat and one with a slide and all of their boats are kept up to standard and are clean. The person who drives the boat is required to take a test and know boat safety before getting in the water. We rented a pontoon boat from 11 am to 5 pm and was $550 plus gas consumption. They do get really busy and packed, so parking could be an issue. The walk from parking to where you check in is quite hilly, so keep this in mind when bringing children/elders. There's even a place where you can inflate your floaties to enjoy the lake better!

Pro Tips: 1. Reserve a time for a weekday to save some…read moredollars. 2. Upgrade to the destination yacht with the bar instead of the enclosed room. 3. Ask for a USB converter if needed to charge your phone on board the boat. 4. If gas money is a concern, just take your party boat to the nearest cove and anchor in. We paid only $10 for gas for four hours that way. 5. Take the driver's test online before boat day. Doing it on site, last minute, is so stressful. 6. Be aware that they will require a $500 deposit on site that you will be refunded later if all goes well. Bring your ID. 7. BYO trash bag, Lysol or baby wipes, and paper towels. 8. Connect your phone to the speaker system via Bluetooth. Ask for instructions before your leave the dock. 9. The store on site has all your essentials for reasonable prices. 10. Have the best day ever!

I have been a member of Carefree boat club in Fort Lauderdale, FL for over 2 1/2 years. My husband…read moreand I came to Allatoona, GA and booked a reciprocal reservation and took out 11 guests. There was NO dock staff at the marina to assist. Two hours into taking out their brand new pontoon boat, the boat experienced mechanical failures and literally just died. We happened to be docked at the time and spent over an hour and a half trouble shooting the issue. Additionally, although we pay for towing services with Carefree annually, this location refused to provide towing services. Ultimately we were left stranded, they did not come pick us up or provide towing services. They then tried to insinuate that we didn't even pay for the towing service through Carefree, which isn't optional and is paid in the service involuntarily. We eventually had to get 3 Ubers to take us back to the marina so we could get back home. This location has terrible customer service and the experience of literally being left stranded on a boat was horrific. We pay good money to be members of Carefree boat club and to be treated in this manner was disheartening. He literally told us to leave the boat and said he wasn't coming to get us. Lastly, after he saw my one star review on Google, he texted my husband "Thanks for the 1 star review. Nicely played." It wasn't enough to leave us stranded, but then he has the audacity to complain about a one star review.

It's easily accessible from Atlanta and the surrounding areas. I've been visiting RTMSP for the past few years. Even though there are lots of visitors, it's large enough that it doesn't feel crowded. Their hiking trails are well groomed, scenic with light elevations. The Iron hill Loop is about 4 miles. It meanders around a bit of Lake Allatoona so you'll catch gorgeous lake views and a bit of boating activities too. The Homestead Trail is little longer, just under 6 miles with rolling elevation. It lends more inland hardwood forests than Iron hill Loop but it also has lovely views of Lake Allatoona along its loop part of the trail. Their where am I markers aren't the best but it's easy enough to figure it out. Their blazes are better. I've seen several woodpeckers, deer and many squirrels, identified a few mushrooms I hadn't encountered before here. They DO charge $5/car for PARKING unless you have an annual pass. Be sure to prominently display it inside your dash even if you do not go through a ranger station or the visitor center. They do ticket. RTMSP is a pleasant park to visit. It's a restorative environment to just catch a breath.
