also offers drinking water, toilets, picnic sites and a fishing pier. 
Visitor use monitoring on the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest has

outdoor camping facilities. Funds will be used to make improvements to 
the Dockery Lake Campground.

DATES: If approved, Dockery Lake Campground will increase fees in 
January 2010.
