Anyone that loves to travel and fish should put LaGrange, GA on their destination list. The fishing possibilities are endless because of the proximity to West Point Lake. Anglers can fish the tailrace below the dam in the Chattahoochee River for outstanding large mouth and spotted bass action or fish the lake itself for more large mouth action, stripers, hybrids, spotted bass, crappie and catfish.
Any traveling fishing trip requires a place to stay and one of the best for fishing West Point Lake is Highland Marina Resort. It is located just outside Lagrange and right on the banks of the lake. Even the non-anglers in the party will have plenty to do at Highland Marina Resort.
If you don’t find the activities you want at the resort the city of LaGrange is only minutes away with shopping, dining and other entertainment. Activities range from dabbling in Civil War history at Bellevue, the antebellum home of noted Georgia statesman Benjamin Harvey Hill, to examining life in ancient Israel at Explorations in Antiquity. If more modern adventures are your cup of tea a walking tour of downtown LaGrange is available and there’s an APP for that.
West point is one of those finger lakes that have narrow creeks, crooks and crannies in every direction. There are more good looking fishing spots than you can ever investigate in one trip. Six-pound bass are common and the lake record is a huge 14.2-pound lunker.
Water related activities include boating, skiing, tubing, jet skiing and more. If you just want to relax there is an inviting sandy beach to sunbathe and unwind. Of course a sunset ride around the lake in a rented pontoon boat can be pretty relaxing too.
You can bring your own boat and use a slip in their marina, or take the hassle out of travelling and just rent one at the marina. Weather you are fishing or just exploring one of their center console boats will do the job.
At the end of the day everyone ends up at their cottage to relax and refresh for the next day’s activities. The resort is set up to accommodate any party from 2 people to 8 in luxurious comfort and convenient surroundings. The resorts cabins are available in one to 5 bedrooms with lake views from virtually every cabin.
