Reed Bingham Park Lake is a 375-acre body of water within Reed Bingham State Park, offering diverse paddling opportunities alongside 3 miles of the Little River that flows through the park. The lake features scenic views of water lilies and tupelo trees along its shores.

Three boat ramps provide access points for launching kayaks and canoes. Single and tandem kayaks are available for rent from the visitor center between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM, with rates ranging from $10.80 for one hour to $43.20 for eight hours. Life jackets and paddles are included with rentals. All rental boats must be returned by 4:30 PM and cannot leave park property. Personal watercraft are permitted on the lake.

Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with frequent sightings of American alligators sunning along the lake's edge. During winter months, nesting bald eagles can be observed, and thousands of black vultures and turkey vultures roost in the surrounding trees. The lake's shoreline supports diverse plant communities typical of Georgia's Coastal Plain.

The park offers several facilities for paddlers, including two docks, a sand beach, and a beachside pavilion. A unique paddle-in island campsite accommodates up to 30 people and includes amenities such as a pit toilet, picnic tables, and fire pits. Advance reservations are required for the island campsite, which costs $35 per night.

Required Safety Measures: - Life jackets must be worn while paddling - All boats must be off the water by sunset - Park hours are 7 AM to 10 PM - A $5 per vehicle parking fee applies

The lake's location less than six miles from I-75 makes it easily accessible for day trips. The park was named for Amos Reed Bingham, who was instrumental in its establishment.
