Fun On and Around the Lake

Lake Tara offers resort-style living. Visitors to the resort have access to gated communities, a public beach, multiple tennis courts, picnic areas, nature trails, and an 18 hole champion golf course - home of the West Georgia Open.

Lake Tara itself is a perfect location for swimming, canoeing, jet skiing, water skiing, sailing, tubing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding across its 275 acres of surface area.

Nearby Villa Rica boasts southern hospitality at its finest with a taste of small-town life. The community is very tied to its history, as its library is the oldest building in West Georgia.

The Stockmar Gold Mine has now been preserved as a museum, so even visitors can partake in the events that molded the city.
