HIGHLIGHTS: Vogel State Park is one of Georgia’s oldest and most popular facilities in the Georgia Parks system, and it is located at the base of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. This short loop hike at the Park circles the lake near the visitor’s center and passes across a damn with a spillway that creates an impressive waterfall that can be seen from a side trail. Views of the mountains toward Blood Mountain can be seen in the distance and the trail is suitable for small children. There are wilderness trails that start near the campground, but if you are looking for a short hike to entertain the kids – this is perfect.
