Vogel State Park is in the Blue Ridge Mountains at the base of Blood Mountain with an elevation of 2,280 feet. It is in the Chattahoochee National Forest and open year round with beautiful views during all seasons. 

The park features a 22-acre lake named Lake Trahlyta built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and named after the Indian Princess Trahlyta.  Much of the land which is now Vogel State Park was given to the state in 1927 by the Fred Vogel family and became one of the first two parks in Georgia in 1931.

We camped here next to the creek in November 2017 in our Travato van and the leaves were spectacular. The sound of the running water lulled us to sleep at night. The lake is really beautiful and offers a 1 mile loop trail with an opportunity to view the Trahlyta Falls. Camping here was really wonderful and we will definitely return to this gorgeous park.

​We returned for one night in June 2018 during our Southern Highroads Trail trip and visited the Byron Herbert Reece Farm & Heritage Center. We took their last open spot at the park and enjoyed our stay even though we were not by the water.

There are 17 miles of hiking trails within the park and giving access to the Coosa Backcountry Trail which climbs Coosa Bald and Slaughter Mountain. Also availale from this trail the Duncan Ridge Trail leads directly to Blood Mountain where it meets the Appalachian Trail.  

We hiked the Bear Gap Trail and picked up the Coosa Backcountry Trail to descend back down to the park. This was an adventurous and quite strenuous hike with gorgeous views and crosses several streams. Check out our Hike and Bike Trails site for more information about this hike.
