Calhoun Falls State Recreation Area, GA KOA

 

Spacious, campsites along scenic lake.

The Setting

Calhoun Falls State Recreation Area is located on Lake Russell, a lake not yet crowded but becoming known as a great fishing destination ever since a state record walleye was caught in its waters in 1994. Coves around this 26,650 - acre lake create excellent fish habitats for walleye, bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish, and a fishing pier adds another platform from which to cast your line. Because the campsites at this park are the largest in the state system (several are pull - through double sites that can accommodate 40 - foot rigs) camping is a popular activity. Tent sites are tucked away in a walk - in area shaded by tall pines.

The park also features a 1.75 mile hiking trail among the mixed pine and hardwood forest, a tennis court and several picnic areas.

The Facility

Three campgrounds are located along the shores of Lake Russell. Two of the campgrounds provide individual water and electrical hook - ups. Some of these sites accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, others up to 30 feet.

At the far end of the loop, you can take a spur trail to the camping area, or continue and return to the tennis courts.
