Don Charter State Park – Gainesville
The only state park in Lake Lanier, walk (or bike) the 14 miles of tree lined trails to enjoy the colors of the changing leaves, takes some photos, and enjoy your time outdoors! The state park also has boat ramps, cabins and campsites. You can even enjoy a guided horse ride along the trails as well.
You can also use your own boat for a peaceful time on the lake while marveling at the fall colors. Keep an eye out for any local marinas or rental places for any Fall activities and events.
