The park’s mill pond beckons anglers and paddlers to explore thick stands of cypress and tupelo trees draped with Spanish moss. Canoeists and kayakers can join the Park Paddlers Club.
While on the water, nature enthusiasts can look for beaver dams, Great Blue Heron, White Ibis and other wading birds. The park rents both kayaks and canoes, or guests may bring their own. Hikers can stretch their legs on seven miles of trails while searching for gopher tortoises, Georgia’s state reptile.
