Thoroughly enjoyed our walk on the boardwalk. There is a boat ramp & kayak/canoe launch area that was pretty well kept as well. There are picnic tables with covers and bear proof trash cans. Upon arriving there were deer grazing near the picnic tables which was a beautiful sight to witness. There is a map there to show where you are on the park along with in comparison to other areas around. The boardwalk looked fairly new and was nice and quiet to walk along. We spotted one gator, some turtles and an owl. This was a bit of a colder day that we went so there was not much activity from wildlife as there would be if it were to be a warmer day. At the end of the “dead end” side of the board walk there is a sitting bench that would be nice to read a book or spend time in nature observing birds or other wildlife. If you’re into bird watching, I would recommend bringing your binoculars to get a further view than what you can see with the naked eyes. We will be back to visit with a picnic and earlier in the day to explore the further walk because it was simply so beautiful and peaceful to explore

Great small state park. Unfortunately, most things were closed the day we went so we couldn't experience a lot. These pictures are from the first time I went when the mill was open. Also the bathrooms were closed this visit. That made it extremely unlikely that we could stay long, lol.

Wonderful, dark, and quiet front country that allows easy access into the deep reaches of the Okefenokee. Friendly staff, easy to reserve, and quaint cabins.

We went a month after hurricane Helene and only the campsites were open so there was no much to do. We stayed in site 37. Our tent fit on the site, but we would not have been able to get a second tent on the site. The ground is very hard and had to use a hammer to get the stakes into the ground. A lot of trees fell during the hurricane so not much shade. The outer campsites are roomier than the inside campsites. Unfortunately there is someone who lives outside the park that decided to play music at 4 am and it was loud enough to wake us up. The rangers told us that it happens frequently. I would have given a better review probably if we would have been able to visit the rest of the park and was able to use the trails.

Fairly small, in terms of hiking trails, but there is plenty of space for water craft. There is also an awesome trading post and friendly staff. Our boat tour guide, Alex, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. All in all, an excellent place to experience some natural tranquility. We will definitely come back!
