Parks & Playgrounds - Carters Lake Dam Site

Located near Ellijay, Georgia.
This weekend the whole family headed to Carters Lake for a picnic. The lake is located off of I-575/Hwy 5 on 136 near Ellijay. We were looking for a bit of nature and wanted a taste of fall. It was too hot for fall. We went to the Dam Site day use area. It has a playground, a group shelter, several covered picnic tables and an open field. The park also has bathrooms, but they are nothing more than fancier outhouses. There were no changing tables or sinks. Thank goodness we carry baby wipes. The playground has a couple of slides. On this day, the slides were too hot from the sun, so Morgan practiced walking up and down the stairs. There was a mister, but we did not play in that. Dogs are welcome and Morgan played with two puppies visiting the park. Overall, this part of the park is okay and is best reserved for a cool fall day. We have been there during fall and the color is spectacular. I’m sure the swim beaches are a much better option on hot days.
