Burton Mill Park
Flowery Branch·All ages·Outdoor
Burton Mill Park is a Lake Lanier access point on the eastern shore in Flowery Branch, built more around the beach, boat ramp, and picnic areas than a quick playground stop. Free life jackets are available for kids swimming at the beach, useful if you don't own your own gear. Pets aren't allowed, and alcohol is strictly prohibited under Corps of Engineers rules, so it tends to stay a calmer, family-oriented spot. The kids may consider being completely soaked a feature, so plan the trip home accordingly.
Cherokee Bluffs Park

Cherokee Bluffs Park is the big all-purpose park in Flowery Branch: 168 acres with a playground, roughly 3 miles of multi-use walking and biking trails, a dog park, historic sites, and a catch-and-release fishing lake. It works for the family that wants one stop with several possible versions of the day, from playground time to a stroller-friendly walk to a slower pond-and-picnic visit. Choose a meeting spot before you arrive; this is not a tiny park where everyone magically finds each other by the swings.
