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.

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.

Loved it here! Great and beautiful historical landscape. They have a nice little gift shop and I even went for one of their sunset hikes led by a Park Ranger which was wonderful and super informative! The park ranger was a doll and took gorgeous pictures of my mom and I.

really great park rangers are informative. the grounds are kept up well, so you can walk right up to the mounds. the White Trail was closed due to some construction, so there were two available trails. according to the map we got, there also seemed to be a disc golf course but we could not find it at all. overall, it was a very informative and fun time.

We had a fantastic weekend camping at here.The natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere were truly refreshing. The campsite was well-maintained, and the facilities were clean. We enjoyed hiking the trails and had a great time by the campfire in the evenings. Waking up to the serene view of the lake was a treat for the eyes and soul. The campsite feels little congested should be more spacious. Restroom was clean and well maintained. Activities include swimming, kayaking, Paddle boating and nice trails.
