0325doncarter7
Ranger Matt Owens tours the primitive camping sites at Don Carter State Park where a group of Boy Scouts soon will be making improvements to the walk-in sites as part of their Eagle Scout project.
Not yet open a year, the state-operated Don Carter State Park in North Hall County is planning to expand its recreational offerings and accommodations. The plan, stretching over the next five-plus years, involves new trails, campsites and possibly cottages filling the 1,316-acre park at the end of North Browning Bridge Road and overlooking the Chattahoochee River arm of Lake Lanier. The park, also near Clarks Bridge Road, features camping, boat ramps, fishing, picnicking, playgrounds, hiking and a large swimming beach, as well as eight rental cabins.
