A portion of the park is dedicated to Acworth Beach, which is a fairly good sized sandy beach along side Lake Acworth. The beach is well kept, clean and normally packed during the summer months, as you would expect. They do have buoys in the water noting distance parameters, but the beach does not have active lifeguards, so very much "swim at your own risk". As with other beaches, they offer restrooms and showers adjacent to the beach. While Cauble Park features all the good stuff of a park, it is also a residential neighborhood. To access you either have to live in the city limits of Acworth, and have your respective car tag, or pay a per-car fee to enter. It ranges from $10 - $20, depending on the season. Parking is plentiful, but can be tough on summer weekend days or during special events such as July 4th. Something else I enjoyed about this park is the wooden walkway that took you over Lake Acworth and gave great views of the park, lake and beach. This trail leads into a wooden trail, and while I enjoy paved trails a bit more, I get the preservation of the woods and leaving the trail paved/dirt. This trail is not very long, and dead ends into another residential street. Overall, Cauble Park at Acworth Beach is a well know, but hidden gem in the community! My best friend lives in Acworth, so every time I visit, we make sure to swing by the park at least once.

I have been coming to this trail for several years with my dogs. It's such a great hiking trail…read more(more of an easy stroll). The trail begins on Cassville Road across from the police station, nowhere to really park so you'll have to either park right off the road or park nearby. The trail is approximately 1.5 miles though the sign up front says 1.1 miles, haven't actually done an exact measurement. The trail follows along the Pettit Creek and is all paved. It begins open and about 300 yards in it dips into the woods and meanders through the woods, across a cool wooden bridge, and finally ends at Mission Rd (for now, apparently they are going to extend it another mile or so). It's such a peaceful and quiet trail to walk on and you can walk down to the creek with your dog. Currently the bridge is "closed for repairs" but I'm not sure why (this is as of Thanksgiving day 2025). Unsure of when they'll open it back up but you still have plenty of trail to walk on. Could definitely use some parking area but a great place to walk and ride your bike.

So I had hoped and planned on spending more time at this park to watch the softball tournament my…read morehusband's girls travel softball team was playing in. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. We got to the field which was, maddeningly one hour away from our hotel. Thanks not at all to the tournament which arranged this. There was plenty of parking for the number of teams and games going on. Always a good thing. And the parking lot was nicely paved and laid out. There were some trees around which helped as I sat in their shade and waited for the team to warm up before playing - like waited 1.5 hours in the 95+ degree temps. I learned quickly that the building above the softball fields was a gym - and it was open. It was also air conditioned and had nice restrooms available. I had made this my place to hang out between games for the coming days. However, with the rain that arrived, that was never needed. The fields are nicely laid out in a quad with concessions and restrooms in the center. Restrooms were kept in order and concession prices were fair. (Especially having been to see the Braves play the night before and paid 2.5 times as much for a soda!) There were bleachers on each side which I also appreciate. While I have a super comfortable chair that folds up - it is heavy to carry. And I also have a very nice bleacher cushion with a back rest. It is MUCH easier to tote around and is perfectly comfortable for a game - but not much longer. Fields were in good shape and the proper fencing and netting was in place. Dugouts looked OK, too - although I did not actually enter one or view it from the field - only what I saw looking across the diamond. The location of the park was OK, too. Near a Waffle House and gas stations - must haves for last minute needs like water/ice/snacks/etc. The Waffle House was our hang out as waited for the games to cancelled once the rain came. So yes they are very nice fields. But having driven 8+ hours to get here and only getting 2 games in thanks to the rain - it's quite hard to be enthusiastic about the experience at this park. But, I think I am fair giving it four stars. Hope you have better weather than we did if you go here!!

Then you'll see the furnace, the picnic area, bathrooms, and the start of the trail. Cooper's Furnace isn't very impressive if you've seen any pyramids. It's just a big stone structure. If it was 10 times bigger, it would've been more impressive. The trail is only about 1.5 miles. But I haven't walked it. Instead, I stayed in the Day Use Area. The area is nice. They have a river, clean bathrooms, and picnic area. If you're an outdoorsy person, it's a decent place to come out, walk the trail, eat some grilled stuff, and lazily hang out near the river. The best part is it's free. They seem to have a place near the entrance, but on Saturday, no one was there taking fees. Not many people seem to come here. Perhaps it's just a place to hang out for nature-loving, bored people in Cartersville.

It's not all flat either, there are some parts that are going up and down in the trees, a few trees you have to climb under or over on the trail.

If you don't mind the hike and want a nice little spot to cool off and jump off a rock, I would highly recommend this place.
