Sweetwater Park

General Information

Located off of Sweetwater Creek Drive in Canton, GA. The park and campground are both located off of the same spur road. The main attraction at Sweetwater Park is its swimming beach. There is also a nice group picnic pavilion that has a volleyball court and two horseshoe courts adjacent to its seating area. There is a $4 fee to enter and use the park's facilities. A building with bathrooms is located off of the parking area that is furthest from the beach. Sweetwater Day use park is open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM.

Legacy Directions

Directions: Take 575 N to Highway 20 exit. Go west on highway 20 (Knox Bridge Highway) about 5-10 minutes, look for the sign to Field Landing Park. The boat ramp is about a mile south of the Highway 20. It looks like the boat ramp is open all the time, currently not manned, but apparently will be later in the year.

Local Tips

If you go a little farther, you can come to Sweet Water, a Corps of Engineers campground and day use area, which launches a little to the south, and on the west side. Only problem with Sweet Water, is that the Day use area is not open till May 7 (As of Randy's post. We'll assume it's open during the warmer months but you should check first.)
