About George Washington Carver State Park
George Washington Carver State Park was a state park in the U.S. state of Georgia. It existed from 1950 to 1975, when it was then leased to Bartow County as a county park known as Bartow Carver Park, and since 2017 as George Washington Carver Park. Red Top Mountain, located on Lake Allatoona, consists of 1,553 acres (6 km2) and derives its name from the rich red color of the soil that comes from the high iron content in the ground. In 1950, the state initially leased the land for 25 years from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
