Hardridge Creek Day Use

Hardridge Creek Day Use park is situated on the shores of Walter F. George Lake, sometimes called Lake Eufaula, which stretches 85 miles up the Chattahoochee River. The lake is a great place to get away for a week, a weekend or just an afternoon, and boating, swimming, fishing and camping are popular activities. The Chattahoochee River lakes are an angler's paradise, where largemouth bass, white bass, hybrids, crappie, channel catfish and bream are found. The lake's 640 miles of shoreline offer many excellent locations for bank fishing, and a boat ramp is conveniently located nearby. The lake and its surrounding forests provide a great locale for hiking, hunting or simply observing wildlife. Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, a boat ramp, a playground, a group shelter and the Phenomenon Trail. This location has limited staffing. The lands surrounding the lake are forested with dense stands of mixed hardwoods, and a wide variety of wildlife is commonly seen — waterfowl, deer, squirrels, rabbits, eagles, hawks, bobcats and dozens of species of songbirds. The historic towns of Eufaula, Alabama and Cuthbert, Georgia are nearby. Eufaula boasts more than 20 structures and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and beautiful antebellum mansions are located throughout both towns.
