During this difficult time, being in nature can be especially comforting. Per Gov. Brian Kemp’s Executive Order, outdoor activity is identified as an essential activity, as long as visitors follow CDC social-distancing guidelines. As a result, most State Parks and Historic Sites remain open, including most trails, lakes, golf courses, campgrounds and cabins. Visitor centers, museums, playgrounds and some other amenities are closed. For the latest details, visit GaStateParks.org/alerts and follow the Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites Facebook page. You may also call the park office for assistance.

State Parks Open We know being in nature is comforting, so State Parks and Historic Sites remain open, including trails, fishing docks, campsites, cabins and go...lf courses. Safety is our utmost priority, so visitor centers, museums and other buildings are limiting access. Rangers are still on site, available to assist you and answer phones. Visiting Soon? Overnight guests may enjoy self check-in before going straight to their cabin, campsite or yurt. Parking is $5, which can be paid in cash at self-pay envelope stations. See GaStateParks.org/Alerts for more details. Social Distancing Help us follow CDC guidelines by maintaining a safe distance of at least six feet from others. Ranger programs have been rescheduled. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping parks to remain open while keeping all of us safe.
