If you visit in the afternoon you may need to walk around the side of the lake to the dam on the west side of the lake to view any rafts of ducks.  The setting sun can make it hard to see from the dock area.

Winter is a great time for viewing flocks of ducks with the occasional rariety like a Ross's Goose showing up. There are trees and shrubs along the shore that provide an opportunity for a variety of other birds as well.

There are restrooms, a playground, and picnic pavilions in this area as well as boat docks.  It is a popular fishing spot for locals.  Besides the main parking area by the pavilion there is a smaller parking area to the west that is only a short walk up the Greenbelt to the lake.

With more than 18 miles of concrete path, the GreenBelt claims the title of the longest, paved loop trail in Georgia.

The shared-use path was designed for pedestrians, bikers, and other non-motorized users and to connect neighborhoods with the Carrollton City School campus, the University of West Georgia, city parks, and several commercial and shopping areas.

GreenBelt serves the community in several capacities. Primarily, it serves as a recreational opportunity. Given the planned, strategic location of the trail, the community can also utilize the trail as an alternative to vehicular travel.

The Carrollton GreenBelt is a linear city park. The trail connects several active and passive recreational areas that include ball fields, gyms, a pool, and new mountain bike trails.

The Carrollton Greenbelt runs along the shore in this section and is paved and wheelchair accessible.
