Northern Fulton County, which lies mostly north of the Chattahoochee River, is almost entirely comprised of the former Milton County.

Hiking, fishing, boating, and related outdoor activities at nearby Lake Lanier and Lake Allatoona remain tops for year-round family and friend get-togethers. Residents and visitors won’t want to miss the water parks, Six Flags Over Georgia, and Stone Mountain parks!
