Voted "Best Attraction" in Bartow County's 2008 People's Choice Awards.
This popular park on 12,000-acre Lake Allatoona is ideal for swimming, boating and fishing. Visitors can bring their own boats or rent from Park Marine. Twelve miles of hiking trails wind through the park, providing opportunities for exercise and to explore a reconstructed 1860s log cabin (open and staffed on Saturdays). The park's lodge, restaurant and meeting facilities make Red Top a great getaway for family reunions and business groups. A 3/4-mile paved trail behind the restaurant is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. Named for the soil's rich red color caused by high iron-ore content, Red Top Mountain was once an important mining area for iron.

Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
Lodge Hours: 24-Hour Service
