U.S. Army Corps of Engineers allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Riverside Park Day Use Area sits along the Etowah River downstream of the Allatoona Lake dam in northern Georgia. The day-use site features two open picnic shelters—one seating 200 on the riverbank and a smaller 50-person shelter along a wooded creek—plus a restroom, a sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and an open field. On-site facilities include a river boat ramp, access to the Vinyard Mountain Hiking Trail, and the 18-hole Etowah Disc Golf Course. The water supports swimming, boating, fishing, and kayaking, with Cartersville nearby.
