About Red Top Mountain State Park
Lake Allatoona surrounds most of this land, wrapping around a peninsula shaped by the Etowah River on the north and east and Allatoona Creek on the west. The park covers 1,776 acres and takes its name from Red Top Mountain, so called for its iron-rich soil. The surrounding water on three sides defines the shape and reach of the property.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
