About Bottomless Lakes State Park
Located about 15 miles southeast of Roswell, this state park is built around a series of eight lakes formed in sinkholes, which range from roughly 17 to 90 feet deep. Visitors can picnic, paddle non-motorized boats, fish in designated lakes, swim, or scuba dive. The park has a campground with restrooms and showers, a day-use area at Lea Lake, picnic shelters, a visitor center, and hiking and mountain biking trails. Pedal boats and paddle boards can be rented during the warmer months.
