About

Horace King Park is a day-use recreation area managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on West Point Lake in Troup County, Georgia. Conveniently located along the Chattahoochee River, the park offers excellent access to the reservoir and upper river systems. Facilities include a boat launch with trailer parking, picnic sites, and two group shelters that accommodate up to 30 people each and can be reserved through Recreation.gov. The shelters are non-electric and are popular for gatherings, though large events may require a special event permit. The park is unstaffed and operates on a self-service basis. Day-use fees apply for boat launching ($5), and parking is first-come, first-served. Pets are permitted on leashes under six feet, and alcohol is allowed. The park enforces standard Corps regulations including no off-road vehicles, no commercial activities, and noise restrictions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. Horace King Park is easily accessible from LaGrange via Georgia Highway 109, approximately seven miles west of town. The park provides a convenient launching point for fishing, boating, and water recreation on West Point Lake's 25,900 acres.
