I Rode out to Buford Dam today. I looked at the dam park, and the dam road. It all looked dam nice if you ask me. The road to the lower pool is dirt and is surprisingly smooth on the ay down. The only rough spots are in the turns, they have some washboarding going on. No potholes or large rocks in the road. Even the lowest of vehicles could make it. I saw a couple of crotchrocket at the bottom. This location is free and has plenty of grass to grill, throw a football, frisbee, or play a little soccer. If you come I would bring a blanket or some fold up chairs. The park has benches and limited picnic tables. If a dirt road is out of the question with most people, then West Bank is available, but is $4.00 per car. Both parks are a within 1/2 mile of each other and both parks are open until 10:00 PM. It should be a dam good time.
