Buford Dam Park

"Went to check out the dam park and the damn park was closed. I believe due to deer hunting. We drove around the dam road which is a good view of the lake, but due to the park being closed there wasn’t a good spot anywhere. This is a local attraction I’m told so I’m sure if you come here when it isn’t deer season, there would be a lot to do. I just got this one quick picture and don’t have much to say but maybe someday I’ll be back since I stayed with a local in Sugar Hill nearby"

"I visited on Sunday evening and the entry fee was $5. A nice, calm lake beach. More suitable for a family day out and good for kids. Since it was summertime and weekend, very much crowded. Restroom was ok. The playground is available for kids. The picnic area is also nice."

"This is a very nice, quiet park where we we will be hosting a family reunion. A couple of improvements that would take it to five stars would be to construct two shelters for rent over in the beach area. There's space for at least two. This will allow people to enjoy the beach while having gatherings. Especially gatherings with children. The beach isn't at all visible from the shelters, so, if you have people in your gathering who also want to enjoy the beach, then you won't be together because the beach is about a quarter mile from the shelters with no direct line of sight. Very poor planning. The 2nd would be to construct a bathroom in the area where the three shelters are. Currently, there's one bathroom and it's down the hill, about a quarter mile from the shelters. Not user-friendly at all for shelter renters."

"Nice & clean beach/lake area. Easy to navigate to the swimming area, park access is $5 via machine CARD ONLY. Water is clear and calm. Ppl fish here as well. No available lifejackets, there are yellow buoys in place to separate deep end from the shore."

"This place has two bridges. One is a wooden bridge on the left of the parking lot that is closed and you cannot cross unfortunately. But on the left of that bridge there was a spot with calm water that kids were able to play, get wet, enjoy nature and be...kids ! The second bridge on the right is leading to a park after you cross the water with beautiful view on both sides (right side you can see the dam). Please watch your kids as the water is very powerful and you will nwed to be careful! That park has also a parking lot that you can originally just park there. There is a small ramp access to the water in that park too. Both paths going to bridges are accessible with wheelchairs ! ♿ => The whole MAGIC is happening on the left of the first bridge, though. Park and walk to the left, going to the entrance, and there is a path going down to trees. Follow it and there is the beautiful trail to walk a good bit of a distance !!! Really beautiful ! So, you want a view? You got it. You want to connect with nature in a beautiful trail? You got it. You want to have fun and let your kid run in the park? You got it. That place worth it!!!"
