Fort Mountain Lake in Georgia

This was taken 01/29/2011 while visiting Fort Mountain State Park in North Georgia. The video is of the lake.
There is still snow/ice on the lake!

01/29/2011 Fort Mountain State Park

**Continuing my 2011 project to visit all the state parks in Georgia**

Today was my visit to Fort Mountain State Park in North GA. Had to get on the road by 6:00am, but it was worth it. I did get to do a little geocaching while visiting the park. Smile

It kind of surprised me that there was still snow on the ground! Not just a little either, there was patches of snow all over the park!

See the white of the far side of the lake? That’s snow (ice or both).

A shot of the lake right when I got there.

Had a Great time in North Georgia today! I plan to come back again and again!

Florence Marina State Park

Florence Marina State Park in Georgia

I can't help but to keep looking at the pictures I took while on my 4 state park mission.

Can't wait to get back out there to visit a few more state parks!

My 2011 Project

My project for 2011 is to visit all the state parks in Georgia!
First step was to get a annual state park pass so I can get into the parks without paying at the gate.

Not counting historic sites and other state run things, there are 58 (I think) state parks in Georgia. It’s $5.00 to park in a state park (usually) so $5.00 x 58 = $290.00. Granted, I’ve never paid the $5.00 to park or get into a park, but I usually go during the winter months and attendants are usually not present in these months.
The first 4 I plan to visit are:
  1. Florence Marina State Park
  2. Providence Canyon State Park
  3. George T.. Bagby State Park
  4. Kolomoki Mounds State Park
Stay tuned for pictures of the parks! Smile
