Large Fishing Lakes of Georgia State Parks

Georgia has no shortage of lakes. One of our favorite things to do at the parks is swim, so we love going to the parks with lakes. We're not major fishers, but it is highly popular in GA. So here are a few good parks to check out if you want to take trip to swim, fish, boat, etc.
