Haig Mill Lake Park

652 Haig Mill Lake Rd · Dalton, GA

Why you should go…

Haig Mill Lake Park is a city park in Dalton built around Haig Mill Lake. A 3.5-mile paved track for walkers and cyclists circles the water, and more than five miles of wooded hiking trails surround it. You can rent kayaks and canoes, fish from two floating piers, and use the picnic pavilion, playground and amphitheater. Dogs and other domestic animals are not allowed in the park.
