Sweetwater Day Use Area is on the northeastern section of Lake Allatoona, off GA 20.
Sweetwater is a special place to spend some free time. (Yes, it is also a nice place to visit when you skip work, but we can’t say that.) Get a tan at the beach, calmly walk along the water’s edge or burn yourself out playing volleyball. Take your pick.
Gather 100 of your closest friends for a BBQ at the park pavilion. A playground is conveniently located nearby where kids can drop their food in the sand, so you’d better plan on cooking a few extra hotdogs.
