James H. Floyd State Park

The 561-acre park features twin lakes against Taylor Ridge, surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest and open grassy areas for outdoor activities.

The area transformed from a marble mining site in the 1800s to a public fishing destination in 1966, becoming Chattooga Twin Lakes State Park in 1973.

The park carries the name of James H. Floyd, a Georgia House Representative who served from 1953 to 1974 and gained local recognition in Summerville.

Visitors can access 25 camping sites with electric and water hookups, four log cabins, multiple picnic areas, and a network of hiking trails.

The Marble Mine Trail leads to an abandoned mine entrance where fragments of marble remain scattered along the gravel path.
