Park (706) 947-3194
Known as the park “where spring spends the summer,” Moccasin Creek is
nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the shores of lovely 2,800-acre
Lake Burton. Despite its mountain location, the park is relatively flat,
offering easy navigation for large RVs, children’s bicycles and
wheelchairs. A fully accessible fishing pier sits above a trout-filled
creek open only to physically challenged visitors, senior citizens and
children. Tour the adjacent trout rearing station, hike on several
nearby mountain trails or simply relax in this peaceful setting. The
park’s central location makes it a perfect jumping off spot for mountain
exploration.
