There are quite a few bodies of water in Georgia. The exact number depends on your definition of various bodies of water sizes, but by some estimates we have over 800 lakes in Georgia! There’s so much to love about being out on the water. Whether you’re relaxing by the shore or floating calmly in a kayak or canoe, it just feels incredibly peaceful to be out in nature near a lake or pond. One particularly tranquil lake in Georgia is Hamburg Lake in Mitchell, GA. This Middle Georgia lake is the centerpiece of the state park that shares its name, but it’s in somewhat of a remote area and isn’t nearly as popular as some of parks that are a little closer to major towns. Check it out:
