Red Top Mountain State Park

With its location in the middle of pristine Allatoona Lake this is one of the most popular hiking spots in Georgia. It's close proximity to a body of water guarantees all kinds of activities such as boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and, of course, relaxing. A small entry fee of $5 per vehicle is assessed for a day pass; camping costs a bit more. To get there, take I-75 to Red Top Mountain SE which will take you across the lake and straight to the park.
