Sprewell Bluff is no longer a state park
In 2012 Sprewell Bluff became a Wildlife Management Area
maintained by the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources division.
A three-mile trail winds along the bank and up rocky bluffs, offering excellent views from high above the river. Hikers can look for wildflowers such as Atamasco Lily, Wild Indigo and Blue Salvia, and butterflies such as Yucca Skippers and Creole Pearly-Eye. Birding enthusiasts might spot tanagers, warblers, osprey and eagles. Camping and cottages are available 25 miles west at F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain.
The Flint River is the perfect location for a daytime getaway. Visitors can cool off in the gently flowing river, skip rocks across the water, picnic on the river’s edge or toss horseshoes in a grassy field. A boat ramp is available for paddlers and anglers, and canoes may be rented from nearby outfitters. The Flint is one of only 40 rivers left in the United States that flow unimpeded for more than 200 miles, and it is revered as one of the most ecologically diverse river basins in the Southeast.
