Park
(229) 724-2150
This unusual park is an important archaeological site as well as a scenic recreational area. Seven earthen mounds within the park were built between 250-950 A.D. by the Swift Creek and Weeden Island Indians. The mounds include Georgia's oldest great temple mound, two burial mounds and four ceremonial mounds. The park's museum is partially situated inside an excavated mound, providing an unusual setting for viewing artifacts and a film. Outdoor activities include camping, fishing, picnicking, boating and swimming.
Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
Office and Museum Hours: 8AM-5PM
(Museum closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day)
Notice: The group camp's swimming pool has been closed, but the public pool is available during summer.
