Description:

This Southwest Georgia park is on beautiful Lake Seminole, a 37,500-acre reservoir known for its sport fishing. The lake is shallow, but natural lime sink ponds have left areas of cool, clear water with a variety of fish. The threatened gopher tortoise, the only tortoise native to Georgia, makes its home along a 2.2-mile nature trail designed to interpret the wiregrass community habitat. The park is located near one of Georgia’s largest wildlife management areas, providing great duck hunting and deer hunting.
