About Galts Ferry Park
This Corp of Engineers park is located off of Rocky Lane in Acworth. Galt's Ferry is larger than many of the Corps day use parks. It can be a busy place in the summer, in part because of the large beach and also because of its location on the south side of Allatoona Lake. There is a large swimming beach, individual picnic tables, a three lane boat ramp, a fishing jetty and group picnic facility found in the park. Just as with all of the Corps parks with a beach and boat ramp, there is a $4 day use fee to use the park. Galt's Ferry is open daily from 8 AM to 9 PM. There are a few bathrooms in the park.

About Lake Allatoona
Every year millions of people take advantage of the recreational opportunities Lake Allatoona provides. One reason for all the visitors is the fact there is a lot of lake to enjoy. When it is full Lake Allatoona covers more than 12,000 acres and has 270 miles of shoreline. The lake and much of the land that surrounds it are managed by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. The Corp refers to the lake by its official name, Allatoona Lake, while everyone else calls it Lake Allatoona.

There are 25,000 acres of public land around Lake Allatoona that are owned by the Army Corp. They maintain and manage some recreational areas along the shoreline but also lease land to private entities that provide services to the public. There are also public access properties and facilities around the lake that are managed by state and local government agencies. From Lake Allatoona website
