State Park
Smith Lake at Unicoi State Park, Georgia (52 minutes from the cabin)

 The 44 acre Smith Lake, which is often called Unicoi Lake, is the centerpiece of Unicoi State Park. The lake not only provides opportunities for swimming and fishing, it also adds another beautiful element to the scenic forest landscape of the north Georgia mountains.  It can be appreciated even more while walking the trail that goes around the lake or by spending time at a number of places in Unicoi State Park where you can access the lake's shoreline.


There is a sand beach where your children can swim in Smith Lake. There are no lifeguards but the relatively shallow swimming area is marked off with buoys. The parking lot is perched above the small cove where the beach is located. Just off this parking area is the beach house, picnic tables, and restrooms. You can rent a canoe or pedal boat from the beach house for $6 per hour (Memorial weekend until Labor Day). At the back edge of the beach is a group picnic facility. It can be reserved for a fee or, if it is not being used, is open on a first-come first-served basis.
