Very pretty parking. We spent 1 night in the campground. Hosts were friendly. Restrooms were clean. We shared our site with one of the tortoises.

This is a very nice state park. It is well maintained and peaceful and quiet place to spend the day. While much of the land area of the park is still recovering from Hurricane Helene, there is plenty to do and see. It is very kid friendly, especially with the farm animals here. It is a living farm with plants, chicken, goats, sheep and more. The museum by the lake has staff there to explain things. If they are not inside, they are outside in the farm area tending to the crops and animals. Visited in late march when the Cherokee Roses, Azaleas, Dogwoods and Wisteria were in full bloom. The boardwalk and trail behind the lake were still closed from the hurricane damage, but the close side of the lake was open with several families fishing. Lots of dragonflies and damselflies were seen flying around. It is definitely worth the trip to come here. GA state park admission fees are low (or use an annual pass)

A lot of the park is closed down due to the hurricane last year and tornado damage. The farm and lake area, campground and one trail in back is open. Other than that, there is not much to see. Right now the confederate roses, dogwood, wisteria and azaleas are blooming. There are sheep, goats, chickens and roosters on the farm. I saw a horse in the distance. A small museum area had some snakes and small creatures indoors in aquariums.

Unfortunately, because of Hurricane Helene, this park has been almost totally obliterated. We visited last week and every trail and dock has been damaged and everything is blocked off and closed. Trees are down everywhere and it appears they are working hard to clear it, but I would estimate it will take months or possibly years to rebuild. For now, I would completely avoid this park until they can repair it.

This well maintained park was so picturesque and serene. We camped there in our RV and were very impressed with the large pull-through campsites. Each site came with water, electricity, pick nick table, grill, and a fire pit. There are several trails to hike, some of which take you down by the river among the Cypress trees. My husband enjoyed catch and release fishing in the lake and I enjoyed sitting next to lake reading, while listening to the horse, sheep, goats, and most loudly the Rooster and Turkey. The old homestead cabins and farm were quite charming and held memories of a simpler life. All in all a very nice park! We would definitely return!
