Description:

This area was under water for 20 million years. Now it is part of Georgia’s Coastal Plain region. Until about 1 million years ago, the park area resembled today’s big game region of Africa with elephants, bison, wolves and armadillos roaming the plains. American naturalist William Bartram explored this region during the 1700s, before the American Revolution, and discovered the Gordonia-Alatamaha, the tree for which the park is named.
