George Washington Carver State Park was a state park in the U.S. state of Georgia.

Red Top Mountain, located on Lake Allatoona, consists of 1,553 acres (6 km2) and derives its name from the rich red color of the soil that comes from the high iron content in the ground. In 1950, the state initially leased the land for 25 years from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The park served not only to preserve the area's history, but also boost Bartow County's growth and agricultural economy.
