About
More than 60
years ago President Franklin Roosevelt took rest and physical
therapy surrounded by the pine forests of west central Georgia.
Today, Georgia Power parks in the Bartlett's Ferry Recreation
Area give vacationers the opportunity to enjoy that tranquil
setting. Lake Harding and other reservoirs along a 35 mile
section of the Chattahoochee River offer many public recreation
opportunities, including boating, skiing, fishing, swimming,
sailing, camping and picnicking.
The
Chattahoochee River and Lake Harding form
the western border of Harris County, providing ample opportunity
for fishing, swimming, boating and other outdoor activities.
Lake Harding, a 5,850 acre Georgia Power reservoir, which has
156 miles of shoreline on the Chattahoochee River, draws crowds
of boaters and skiers during the summer and offers excellent
fishing throughout the whole year. Blanton Creek Park provides
a quiet, beautiful site for campers.
Bartlett's Ferry
A short drive north of Columbus, Lake Harding spans 5,850 acres
and spreads along a 13-mile section of the portion of the
Chattahoochee River that separates Georgia and Alabama. The lake
is impounded by Bartlett's Ferry Dam. The main Georgia Power
recreation area on the Georgia side of the lake is Blanton Creek
Park. Shaded by tall stately pines, the full-service campground
includes picnic areas, pavilions, a boat ramp and a playground.
On the Alabama side of the reservoir are Chattahoochee Valley
Park and Po-Boy Landing which offer boat launching and day use.
Goat Rock Lake
Directly below Lake Harding is the secluded 940-acre Goat Rock
Lake with its more than 25 miles of shoreline. Boating and
fishing are accessible from the Sandy Point Recreation Area.
Lake Oliver
Nearby Lake Oliver also offers water sports and has a marina as
well. Located in Columbus, the 2,150-acre lake has 40 miles of
shoreline, which provides a convenient place for area residents
to quickly get away from city life.
