ROCKY MOUNTAIN RECREATION AREA is located in northern Floyd County, near Rome, Georgia, on 5,000 acres owned by Oglethorpe Power Corporation.
The area includes two recreation lakes totaling 559 acres. Largemouth bass and sunfish are the most common game fish in the lakes; however, channel catfish, walleye, black crappie, and hybrid white-striped bass are also present. Whitetail deer, turkey, and waterfowl frequent the area providing visitors an opportunity to hunt or observe wildlife in a natural setting. The lakes, with a backdrop of
forested ridge lines and Rock Mountain offer visitors a scenic and relaxed setting in which to enjoy fishing, hunting, picnicking, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities.
