Description
This southwest Georgia park is on beautiful Lake Seminole, a 37,500-acre reservoir with excellent boating, fishing and birding. Cottages, many campsites and even picnic shelters sit near the water’s edge, offering excellent views and quick access to the lake. Because the park surrounds a small cove, visitors usually enjoy smooth water for skiing and tubing. A sand swimming beach is also provided for lake lovers. Wildlife is abundant throughout Seminole, and a nature trail leads past gopher tortoise burrows, a wetland boardwalk and one of the largest Longleaf Pine forests in a Georgia state park. Observant visitors may also see alligators, osprey, bald eagles and other wildlife. Nearby wildlife management areas provide great duck and deer hunting.Directions

Reviews of Seminole State Park
Reviewed by Mongoose on June 25, 2009
(0 out of 0 members found this review useful.)This a great park for fishing, boating, canoeing & kayaking, swimming, and pleasant nature trails as well. We have stayed in the Tree House camping lofts, the lake front cottages, and of course in a tent as well off of the lake. This is a real beautiful park and has some spectacular lakefront scenery. Rangers & hosts are awesome and very helpful. Very nice facilities. Highly recommend this beautiful southern GA campground.
