    Okay. I was very IMPRESSED with this park. I have passed by the sign as I traveled down Bankhead Hwy on many occasions but never took out the time to stop by. Well I decided that I would stop yesterday (July 16, 2012). And guess what? I am happy that I did!!! This has got to be one of the BIGGEST if not the Biggest park owned by Douglas County. Now it's no Sweetwater Creek Park, but it has its advantages that SWCP does not have. Like several baseball fields, A huge Boys Club, a lake that is easily assessable, and one old Fire Fighter Jet (Don't quote me on that.....It could be a 747 for all I know this is just my assumption) and an old Train. I was hoping that they would transform into Optimus Prime or Bumblebee. This also prompted to self examne myself and I soon realized why my doctors warned me drinking out in the sun. LOL! If you haven't come out to this park, I would say please do so . It is beautiful, well kept and just a precious gem to come across! The address that I entered is from my GPS unit. I will post a few pictures later.

    Today's hike at Sweetwater exceeded my expectations in every way! The weather was giving spring…read morevibes and the people were out for it ! Initially we parked in the wrong lot but that worked in our favor (where the bait and tackle shop is). There were lots of families out having picnics and fishing. We did a 1-mile loop in the area and were able to see the yurts. NOTED . Beautiful sites to take in before we ventured to the main lots with the visitor's center. Not only are the trails well marked, but there is ample parking across multiple lots. The attendant at the gate entrance was so kind, welcoming and JOYful! We ventured out on the red trail and it was gorgeous. To my surprise, the trail was full today. It seems that Sweetwater is a populated date spot!!! We saw folks of all ages out with picnic baskets, journals, coloring books, bathing suits ... it was AMAZING! We hiked to the end of the red trail and back, venturing off trail to be clear to the River only once. By far, this was one of my favorite hikes and definitely a place I'll revisit to explore some of the other trails.

    This is one of my favorite places to hike around Atlanta. There are several different trails so you…read morecan hike a couple of miles or 6 or 7 miles. The trail is really beautiful in the spring when the trees and plants are in bloom. The trailer is dog, friendly, but make sure you keep them on the leash.

    Deer Lick Park offers a place for my fur babies to run freely! I am glad it is here. I like that…read morethey have water available and depending on the day and time, it is likely for them to have a fur friend to play with. The other dog owners are usually very nice and monitor their dogs. I have not had any issues. Sometimes, they have no dog bags available to clean up after your dogs when they relieve themselves, so I tend to bring a few of my own just in case. The dog park is behind the animal shelter near the skate park and not on the side where the recreational center is located. I like that the gates are easy to access but also close together and divided by small dog and large dog areas. If you are alone or if you come when it is less dogs out, the options available make it easier to keep the dogs safe or separated if needed. Deer Lick Park also offers recreational activities. We participated in basketball and it was nice to see this facility in action for group pictures and games. The staff is friendly and responsive and this park offers a nice place for exercise and community engagement. I also remember attending a Zumba party here many years ago. Overall, this is a nice park.

    This is a great public park that is well maintained with nice tennis courts, playground, walking…read morepath, lake with a fountain, and recreation fields (baseball/football). Quiet and peaceful. Lots of people walking dogs. Need to tell myself to spend more time here.

    Okay. So I was out driving for a dang on hour before I could locate this park. There are signs…read moredirecting you towards the park but damn-it there is no physical address listed. So I used my GPS to pin point the address from inside the park. First things first. There are NO PETS ALLOWED! Yeah you heard me. Fido can not get out of your vehicle at this location. Also, I should probably mention that if you are coming from Chapel Hill Road end of this street then you will be able to enter the park just fine. If you are coming from, say S. Fulton Parkway, then you will need to go down the road and turn around and come back up to the park. The same as exiting. You can NOT TURN LEFT as you leave this location. When you first enter the park you must travel down a long gravel road at 10 MPH. It may be a mile or two down this road and then you get to the park booth. Over towards the left if where most people are parked. Then to the right of that booth is a directory for persons with boats, persons looking for the Pavilion or those that are wanting to fish from the Fishing pier. I thought this park was absolutely gorgeous! It;s nice quiet and serene. But how in the heck are you suppose to find the park Douglas County? Anyway, I guess that's why it's so nice and quiet. Cause no one can find the damn place! :)

    Dog River Reservoir is the main drinking water source for the county. Certain restrictions like no…read moredogs (or dog poop) are for that reason. It's a quiet and peaceful place. No glass containers, gasoline fueled boats or swimming is allowed. It is also only open to Douglas County property and business owners.
