Attraction

Allatoona Damn
Located only 30 miles from Atlanta, Georgia, Allatoona Lake is situated on the Etowah River. Allatoona Lake offers many boat lanching docks alot are free some you have to pay. There are a lot of day use areas that have picnic tables and trash cans. You can fish from the bank but I prefer fishing from a boat. Many of the ramps are open until November. One or two of the ramps are open year round. It also offers camping grounds.
