Our path south now took us along the west side of Georgia.
We had never traveled through this part of the state. At the recommendation of friends, we stayed
at this really nice Army Corps campground. The campground lies on several
peninsulas around Westpoint Lake, near LaGrange, Georgia. We had reserved a
specific site on the lake, so our rear picture window and front patio area looked
out toward the water. We were able to place our kayaks right on the shore at
our campsite. We allowed the dogs to roam off leash, as there were no other
campers next to us. They loved swimming and playing in the lake.
During our six days there, we paddled around on the lake
(particularly at sunset), rode the mountain bike trails and simply relaxed
around camp. Kurt kayaked and fished the lake. This is one of the nicest Army
Corps campgrounds that we have stayed at. This is on our go back list when
traveling through this area.
We did enjoy the mountain bike trails. There were all skill
levels, mostly intermediate, but with some difficult black trails. I really
enjoyed the Lakeview Trail, which followed the lake shoreline, went back into
the forest and offered some really nice flow areas along with some more
technical challenges. The views of the lake were very nice. Kurt rode the black
trails, and enjoyed some better than others.
We enjoyed our time here, but we continued our journey south
towards Florida.
