New from Woodstock, GA

Hi all. New hanger in Woodstock. Planning on taking my XLC out for the first time next weekend. Any places in GA that aren't hammock friendly? A coworker told me you can't hang on Army Corps of Engineer land. Can anyone confirm or deny? Have a car camping trip planned for next weekend with some ground dwelling friends and they are pushing for a Corp managed campground. Would like to go somewhere else if I'm gonna have to go to ground. Always looking for good kid friendly (8&9) hikes in N Ga as well. Thanks in advance for any info and/or suggestions.

Welcome from Marietta! I have been to McKinney park many times and have never had an issue. Even had some rangers check out our setups.

Another welcome from Marietta. You shouldn't have a problem hanging anywhere in Georgia unless you are hanging from the front porch of a ranger station.

Welcome from Marietta (third time's a charm!). I haven't had any problems hanging anywhere in GA so far. Happy hanging!

Welcome from the Lake Oconee area. Most state parks allow hanging, but to be safe I'd call and ask. The latest one I personally have called was Hard Labor Creek State Park. They told me initially that no one had ever asked and they'd have to check. I called back next day and was told hammocks are allowed so long as you stay within your assigned campsite.

Far as I know from reading the regulations, dispersed camping is fine in the WMAs, so I interpret that to include hammocks.
