HAMBURG STATE PARK
With modern-day facilities amidst reminders of days gone by, Hamburg State Park offers a wonderful mix of history and outdoor recreation. Anglers can enjoy great lake fishing for largemouth bass, crappie and bream, as well as boat ramps and a fishing pier. Campers find shaded campsites along the edge of quiet Hamburg Lake fed by the Little Ogeechee River. The restored 1921 water-powered grist mill is still operational and beckons visitors to buy a bag of corn meal at the country store. Visitors who are particularly interested in the mill should call ahead to ask when it will be operating. A museum displays old agricultural tools and appliances used in rural Georgia. The third Saturday in September is always the park's Harvest Festival with crafts, mill tours, games and more.
Enjoy fishing in two well-stocked lakes, home to largemouth bass, crappie and bream. A boat ramp is available for use.
Rent a jon boat or bring your own; electric motors only are allowed on the water here.
