Vogel State Park is a 233-acre state park that was one of Georgia's first two state parks at its founding in 1931. The park, which is located within the Chattahoochee National Forest at the base of the impressive Blood Mountain, is also one of Georgia's highest-altitude parks, sitting at elevations of over 2,500 feet above sea level. Four hiking trails of varying difficulty offer opportunities to observe spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains scenery year-round, most popular during the autumn months as leaf-watching routes. A public visitor center museum focuses on the park's history and construction by the Civilian Conservation Corps, with features detailing the park's connection to the Great Depression. A 22-acre lake is also open for boaters, along with a seasonal swimming beach available to visitors of all ages throughout the summer months.
