| Parks and Attractions |
Tugalo Park - Located just below Tugalo dam, at the mouth of Lake Yonah, is Tugalo Park. There are primitive tent campsites at this location, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Along with tent sites, there are restrooms, picnic areas, a boat ramp, and areas for bank fishing. Tugalo Park is located off of U.S. Highway 441 and at the end of a very scenic road leading down to the park.
Yonah Boat Ramp - This access area provides the only public boat access to Lake Yonah. There is a paved ramp, docks, and a large parking area designed for vehicles with trailers.
Yonah Park is the last recreation area you will find, as the current flows, on the North Georgia Hydro Group. It is located just downstream of the Yonah dam and powerhouse. The area provides for picnicking and bank fishing and is accessible from Georgia Highway 184. |

| Best Fishing Bets |
North Georgia lakes provide an ideal habitat for Spotted Bass, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Redear Sunfish, White Catfish, Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Brown Trout. While the Spotted Bass population is abundant, the Largemouth Bass population continues to decline. Walleye and Brown Trout were stocked to control the growth of the Blueback Herring.
Fishing in Georgia requires a fishing license. Licenses can be purchased at some sporting goods stores, convenience stores, marinas and county courthouses. |
