JAMES H FLOYD STATE PARK
JAMES H FLOYD STATE PARK
Boating
The park offers a variety of boating options for visitors. There are two lakes, Lake Marvin and Lake Antioch, where guests can enjoy fishing or paddling in rowboats, paddle boats and kayaks that are available to rent on-site. Private boats may also be used but must operate with electric motors only due to restrictions aimed at preserving the tranquility of the area.

Fishing
The park offers two stocked lakes for fishing, with species like bream, bass and catfish. A Georgia fishing license is required. Fishing boats are available to rent but private boats aren't allowed on the lake. There's also a kids-only pond where children under 11 can fish.



Picnicking
James H Floyd State Park offers numerous picnic spots with grills, two lakefront pavilions for rent and several playgrounds.
Bicycling
Biking enthusiasts can explore four miles of trails, suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. Be cautious on uneven terrains.

The Marble Mine Trail offers a moderate biking experience with an uphill climb leading to a beautiful overlook.

For those seeking more challenge, the Lower Lake Loop is recommended but requires careful navigation due to its rocky sections.

Remember that helmets are mandatory while cycling in this park; safety should always be your priority when enjoying outdoor activities.

Please respect trail rules and other users by practicing proper bike etiquette at all times.

Always check weather conditions before setting out as some paths may become slippery or muddy after rainfall.
Birding
The park offers birdwatching opportunities with over 100 species spotted, including hawks and waterfowl. Bird checklists are available.
