This park surrounds a 375-acre lake that has
become a major boating and water-skiing attraction in south Georgia. The
fishing is excellent for bass, crappie, catfish and bream. The park
includes the Coastal Plains Nature Trail and Gopher Tortoise
Nature Trail which meander through a cypress swamp, pitcher plant bog, sand hill
area and other habitats indicative of coastal plains
Georgia. Watchful visitors may see waterfowl, the threatened
gopher tortoise and indigo snake, and other creatures. During
summer, a butterfly and hummingbird garden is in full bloom. The park is
less than six miles from I-75, making it a relaxing side trip for
Florida-bound travelers.
For lodging the park includes tent, trailer,
and RV sites for rent. Just call the park office for
details. In addition lodging is available at motels in Moultrie
which is 18 miles west of the park or in Adel which is 8 miles east of the
park.
