Marinas

The eight marinas on Allatoona are safe harbors for boaters.

You can launch your boat and get gas at them all.  A couple of them do major repairs that arise from simple mistakes.

If you’re nice, they might even sell you a new speedboat or personal watercraft.

Ship stores usually carry all you’ll need to make your day at the lake a success: suntan lotion, snacks, water skis, fishing gear and apparel for any type of weather.

Attractions

Nobody has to sit and stare at the lake all day, even though that’s fun enough.

There are lots of interesting places to visit in the area.  We have glorious gardens, Indian mounds and the spot where the Trails of Tears began.

There are museums that won’t bore your kids — one is dedicated to cowboys, another has cool science stuff that they get to touch.
