Overview
A brief introduction to Vogel State Park
Vogel State Park is a 233-acre (0.94 km2) or 94 hectares state park located at the base of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. It became one of the first two parks in Georgia when it founded a state park system in 1931. Much of the park was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s.
The park features streams, a waterfall, and Lake Trahlyta. At 2,500 feet (760 m) elevation it is one of Georgia's highest altitude state parks. The mountainous habitats surrounding the lake support a wide assortment of plants and animals.
Within the park are a series of hiking trails. These include the Bear Hair Gap Trail and the more strenuous Coosa Backcountry Trail, which leads up toward Blood Mountain and the Appalachian Trail near Neel Gap. Vogel Park features camping sites, cabins, swimming, boating and other recreational activities.

Camper reviews for Vogel State Park
Nice campground int he north Georgia mountains
This is a state park in the north Georgia mountains and is great for cooling off from the Atlanta metro heat of the summer. The campground is well maintained and the bathhouses are very clean (they have individual ones). The park has some great hiking trails from easy (lake trail), moderate (Bear Hair Gap), and hard (Blood Mountain), as well as a lake for paddling, and spacious campsites in the woods. Helton Creek Falls is just up the street, and Brasstown Bald (highest point in Georgia at 4,784 ft.) is about 20 minutes away. You can access trailheads for Blood Mountain on the AT from both the park (long at 8+ miles) or drive 5 minutes down the road for a shorter hike at(4.2 miles). Lots of other activities with 15-45 minutes (quaint towns, vineyards, tubing etc).
