Lakepoint State Park, State park on Lake Eufaula in Eufaula, Alabama, United States
Lakepoint State Park covers 1,220 acres on the western shore of Lake Eufaula, the 45,000-acre Chattahoochee River impoundment also called Walter F. George Lake, on the north side of Eufaula. Its grounds hold a 101-room lodge, a convention center, 192 campsites, lakeside cottages and fishermen's cabins, a marina, swimming pools, hiking trails and picnic areas. The park adjoins Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge.
The park began in 1968 when Alabama bought 768 acres on the shore of the Walter F. George Reservoir, a 45,000-acre impoundment of the Chattahoochee River. A campground and day-use facilities were added in 1974. An 18-hole golf course built in 1972 closed in November 2015 amid statewide parks budget cuts, and the site reopened as an off-road vehicle course in 2022.
