Located between Atlanta and Athens, Fort Yargo State Park features a 1792 log fort built by settlers for protection against Creek and Cherokee Indians. Today, visitors come to Fort Yargo for its wide variety of outdoor recreation and scenery. Mountain bikers and hikers can test their endurance on 18 miles of trails. A 260-acre lake offers a large swimming beach, fishing and boat ramps.
Lake Loop Trail (yellow blaze)
6-7 mile loop, easy to moderate
This relatively flat trail travels around the lake and is open to both foot traffic and bicycles. The trail hugs the shoreline in many locations, offering good wildlife viewing. Hikers and riders may see white-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and turtles. It also travels into wooded uplands for different views of plants and trees. Although it looks like an easy walk around the lake, the distance can be deceiving.
