There’s no better place to get away from it all than Turkey Creek Park…of course, you’ve got to act fast because there are less than two dozen campsites! The minimal number of sites might seem like a nuisance, but it’s actually a huge plus because it means crowds aren’t the norm and peaceful solitude is.

Turkey Creek Park is tucked away in Decatur, a small town in Newton County.

The 250-acre lake is perfect for a wealth of recreational activities. In fact, the lake is revered as one of the “best water skiing spots” in the state, attracting skiers as early as mid-March.
