Join us for an easy, relaxing kayak trip around the beautiful 105 acre lake at GA's Indian Springs State Park. This family friendly trip is open to everyone, experienced or brand new to boating. Amazing birds nest on this lake, and kayaking is so quiet, you simply glide into view.

This beautiful state park is located just south of Atlanta, and the lake is not accessible to boats with gas engines, so kayaking is a safe and pleasant joy. The boat ramp makes launching a kayak or canoe very easy.

This particular state park only had flat bottom fishing boats for rent last summer, so if you want to kayak or canoe, you will have to bring your own boat.

As this is a state park, there is a parking fee. $5.00 daily or I suggest you purchase an annual pass @ http://gastateparks.o...

    I just got back from this state park lake and camp grounds. As always, they are beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Geese were the only living things on the lake.. I will be kayaking with family on the 27th of March, and currently plan to visit this park. Costco just got in their seasonal supply of "Future Beach" kayaks.. Good boat, great price! I have 2 of the "sit in" boats - very stable recreational kayaks! Join us on April 18th as we paddle this quiet lake! Meet @ the boat ramp.

    dausset trails is just a couple of miles away. If you love mountain bike riding, bring a bike and plan to stay! It also offers amazing nature trails. and if you stay, be sure to visit "Noah's Ark" zoo and animal rescue. This is the place that took in the Zebra that fell off the truck on I-75

    My 2 year old granddaughter is visiting tonight. She saw my kayaks stacked in the garage, and begged me to take her for another boat ride on this beautiful lake... how do you explain that it is not yet warm enough - to a 2 year old? She remembered how much fun this was last summer! I had to set down a boat, put her in a pfd, and let her pretend to paddle, with a real paddle. Join us for "real Memories"! 4-18-2010 @ Indian Springs State Park

    be sure and stop by the historic "Indian Springs" spout. Many people come weekly to drink the "healing" waters, according to Indian lore... and bring you PFDs. State parks require floating for paddlers....

    this park has some of the most beautiful cabins that I have found in the state parks.. it also has a beautiful beach area for family fun swims. There is a rope area around the beach, and last summer I had my 10 yr old grandson in a kayak for the 1st time. we paddled up close to the rope, and everyone at the beach wanted to know how to get in a boat... Dauset trail is w/i 5 miles for mt bikes and High Falls is w/i 10 miles for hikes, bikes and kayaking

    this is my special place to take "new paddlers" and "bird watchers". Both fall "In Love" with the beauty and quiet serenity...

    this is one of my "all time" favorite places to kayak. I went here many times last summer, and it is where I trained my grandchildren to kayak. sooo... peaceful and quiet! the water is like gliding on glass!
