The Northbank Day Use Area Shelter is praised for its stunning views, cleanliness, and suitability for events like weddings and club picnics, with ample space and facilities such as pavilions and grills. Visitors appreciate the variety of activities available, including playgrounds and walking paths. However, a notable downside is the lack of running water in the park, which can be challenging for larger gatherings.

This is a great place to hold a Club event. Our Corvette club holds it annual picnic here. The two larger pavilions have power a permanent charcoal grills. The rental fee is reasonable. There I the usual Georgia Parks entry fee of $5 but the money helps support the park.there is plenty of pace for young people to play and have field games. There is plenty of parking and Restroom facilities.

One of the most beautiful parks I've ever visited. A true hidden treasure. Visiting our son in Georgia and he brought us to Carter's Lake. WOW just WOW definitely coming back. Well cared for and amazing.

This is a beautiful place to visit! The views are spectacular! It offers a wide range of activities. There's a playground for the kids, benches to sit and rest & enjoy the views, basketball hoops for game or shooting around, pavilions small and large for gatherings and grills for cookouts as well as sidewalks along the perimeter for walking or jogging. I am absolutely in love with this place!

There was no running water in this park, neither in toilets nor in any of the water fountains. We had reserved 2 shelters for a party of 100+ folks including small children and had a hard time without any water on the facility. Iād look elsewhere to arrange a party of this scale next time.

Our club picnic was a success and the Northbank pavilion we had reserved was full to capasity. The new grill worked out perfictly for us. As far as a recommendation, it may be time to update some of the tables, but nothing was unuseable. We look forward to doing again next year.

Nice picnic area, walking path, play ground and views of dam and surrounding lake and reservoir. There are water fountains and out houses vs. bath rooms.

Everything was great with one exception. It appears that the grills have been used for many years and are in need of some maintenance. The grates are warped and in bad shap. it appears that people in the passed have been using rocks to help level the charcoal grates. Other than that all was good. Our Club had a great time and we have all agreed to plan for another one next year.

Everything was in good condition! I reserved this pavilion for my sons first birthday and it was perfect! Other than the fact that it was SUPER windy. Haha but overall experience was good.
