Kolomoki Mounds
Kolomoki Mounds is a prehistoric Native American site located in Blakely, Georgia. It is the largest and most complex Woodland period site in the southeastern United States. The site includes seven earthen mounds, a plaza, and a defensive ditch. The mounds were built between 350 and 750 CE by the Swift Creek and Weeden Island cultures. The largest mound is a temple mound that is over 50 feet tall. The site was used for ceremonial and political purposes, and it was likely a regional center for trade and religious activities. Today, the site is a state park and is open to the public for exploration and education.

Had a wonderful experience at Kolomoki Mounds State Park. Rangers were wonderful, host doing great job. The bathrooms very clean, camp spots nice, all well maintained. Very peaceful, relaxing at atmosphere. No TV but that's okay, Good to get away from the world a while. Bike riding nice with A few challenging hills.

Beautiful park with plenty to do and see! They have a very nice beach area and many trails. Some trails are more difficult than others. Worth the visit and parking pass any day. Make sure to pack an ice cooler if you’re going during Georgia spring/summer so you have cool drinks. *The metal grate bridge near lake Yohola has a large wasp nest! Do not hang out on the bridge or they may sting.

A quiet peaceful place to take a walk. I barely saw any other people here. I would have stayed longer but the gnats were out in full force.

Very nice. The staff is courteous and helpful. The park is clean and accessible 😊 I had the best time. It's definitely worth the trip.

A hidden. And underrated gem, not just in Southwest GA, but in the Southeast. This truly is a beautiful park with great hiking trails, a beautiful lake, a great disc golf course, and lots of history. This area used to be the largest settlement north of Mexico City. At one time it was basically the NY city of trade as many different trade routes passed through this area. It's truly amazing to think of what it took the native tribes to construct the giant mound on site, which I must mention is a fabulous place to watch the sun set! The camp sites are well maintained with several sites located right along the waters edge. They also have kayak, canoe, and paddle boat rental available. I will warn you that the bugs (primarily gnats) can be a little gnarly during peak summer time, but otherwise, this park is a wonderful place to stay year round. Make sure to check out the gift shop as well to pick up a little memento on your way out. There is only a $5 parking fee to visit for the day.
