Young Deer Park is a 14-acre family playground that is beautifully maintained by our friends at Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department. For a small fee you may use the boat ramp and handy courtesy dock. You can safely and quickly load your family into your boat for a happy day on Lake Lanier.
Young Deer Park is only a few miles from Cumming, Georgia. It’s close to Shady Grove Campground,
another popular spot on Lanier’s western shore.
Staying on land? You’ll love the sandy beach. Swim or tan yourself by Georgia’s greatest lake.
Day-use areas are open from 7 AM until 10 PM. The boat ramps are open 24/7.
Brings the kids and have fun pushing them on the swing set. You can rent the 24-seat pavilion for a memorable day lakeside for a family reunion or company picnic.
