About Don Carter
Georgia's first state park on 38,000-acre Lake Lanier, this 1,316-acre park opened in 2013 as one of the state's newest parks. The park offers excellent water recreation with boat ramps, a large sand swimming beach, fishing pier, and paddling trails. Twelve miles of equestrian and hiking trails wind through hardwood forests, and lakeside cottages provide scenic overnight accommodations.
