    I noticed some one gave the park a one star so I felt compeled to write a review of the place in totality were my father, many years ago taught me how to fish. I love this park. I practically grew up here. I know all the bridges and piers and probably all of the roads that lead you to the lake. Hell I have a running tab at one of the bait shops cause the original owners kids still remember me do in to shop as a kid. I know that it's rude to come to these fishes home and kidnap them. But I love to have fish as guest right next to some yellow grits and cheesy eggs. So I apologize for that but I'm that kind of girl! Yes. I do agree that things have changed around here. There are a lot of things that I used to do in the late 80's early 90's that they just don't allow us to do anymore. But it's okay. We have to roll with the punches after we curse a little of course. There are less staff members here. Not enough trash cans. Bathrooms close foe Winter and then you can't find a port a potty. Bring a Red Cup and some baby whipes ladies. That is the best tip feom me you will ever get. Trust me on this one! But none of the changes can take away from the beauty of the place. And the fact that you get to see and touch and feel and live in the moment right here I the great State of Georgia. With that being said, what amazes me the most is that most of the people we meet on land here are from Atlanta. Maybe all the natives have their own boat. But it's a great way to meet new people! Long time friendships are made out here. It's a huge lake so be careful if you are fishing in land because some of these little roads are in Alabama and vice versa. Just double check if you only have a GA fishing license the you don't want to get caught fishing in AL. If you are on a boat however, no worries. I hope that if you are in Atlanta that you will give this place a try. It's a little over 1 hour from the Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta. Depending on who is driving may 1 1/2 hours. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

    My family and I went to the lake on July 4th and we had such an incredible time! There was lots of room and space between other lake goers, we enjoyed the beautiful views, loved watching the boats and jet skies drive by. We also thoroughly enjoyed swimming the lake was incredibly clean both in and outside of the lake. We drove up from Columbus and took about 50 minutes to arrive, the drive was easy no traffic and great country roads. We didn't bring our grill this time some people stated you could grill out others told us we have to use the grills already on site so unfortunately I can't say which is which on that part. Prior to entering near the lake there is a gas station and a huge Dollar General where we stopped to grab snacks and water. My recommendation is bring camping chairs, some good tunes and sun block it's a great time and we are so excited to how close the location is and how well mannered everyone there was!

    A great place to swim, fish, kayak, and just enjoy nature. I've enjoyed every minute I have gotten to spend here. Great family environment.

    Love this Lake. There's so many parks around it & different locations to try. We've done some hiking & kayaking. It's pretty clean & quiet.

    Really enjoyed our experience. We rented 3 kayaks for half the day. They drove us up to the dam and…read morewe then kayaked down. We basically had the whole river to ourselves. The amount of time it takes to get down does vary so we took less time than expected but still had fun. When I voiced a little bit of confusion on timing, they did a great job reaching out to clear things up and make them right. Definitely will be renting from them again!

    We drove from Atlanta to find a fishing spot. After trying downtown Columbus, Lake Oliver and a…read morecouple of other spots with no bites, we happened on the dam at Hardley Creek Recreation Area. Some other anglers were hitting on Stripers with some Bucktail jigs. My 14 yr old son was determined he was going to get one of them so I got on Google Maps and found the nearest fishing supply store. Matt answered the phone. He was so pleasant and helpful. He told me exactly what kind of jigs we needed. He knows because he is a regular angler at that same spot. He fished for a long time without any bites. As soon as we got the jigs from Matt he caught fish on the 3rd cast. Who better to sell you the supplies than the guy that catches the fish. He showed me lots of pictures on his phone of his recent catches. The service and prices were great. I really enjoyed meeting this young man - and what a beautiful, well-stocked store he has. He will treat you just like family. Well, my son caught several large stripers with Matt's help and advice. We had a wonderful day. I hope you take time to go my and meet him and let him help you hook the big ones.

    Awesome experience! First let me say how kind and amazing Calley that answered the phone was. We…read moreare from out of town, camping in our 5th wheel 45 min. away with our 2 big dogs, and storms were headed to the area. We had a noon classic trip planned but we're concerned with the oncoming storms the power might go out while we were gone for over 3 hours, and it be life threatening heat to our dogs. She rescheduled us for a later time that day, and said we could call and check later to be sure it would work. It all worked out perfect. Then we had a very fun experience with our guide Leo. Would recommend this experience overall!

So that gave this rafting experience a whole other dimension I don't usually experience on the river. The guides were knowledgeable, skilled and entertaining. Everything you want, right? The trip was just the right amount of adventure for us, plenty of splashes and drops to pump the heart, but not so much that it ceases to be fun. Extra kudos to the staff for mailing back my daughter's necklace she accidentally left behind in the dry bag for safe keeping. I would recommend this company to anyone.
