About Lake Tara

When you first arrive at Lake Tara, you%apos;ll be overcome by pine scented air and beautiful scenery. The self-proclaimed cleanest lake in Georgia, you%apos;ll be taken with the abundant fishing and 10 mile shoreline. The peaceful amenities at Lake Tara provide a relaxing environment only 30 minutes West of the hustle and bustle that is Atlanta.

This lake offers resort style living. Visitors of 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, wake boarding, and knee boarding 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. Do you love Gone With the Wind? Grab your favorite copy of the novel and make a day of visiting Lake Tara%apos;s two sister lakes, Lake Scarlet and Lake Ashley!
