George T. Bagby State Park

George T. Bagby State Park is a recreation area covering 770 acres along Lake Walter F. George in Clay County. The park includes a marina, golf course, picnic areas, hiking trails, and lodging options for visitors.

The park was developed to provide public access to Lake Walter F. George and promote water recreation in the region. This development brought organized leisure facilities to rural southwest Georgia.

The restaurant Pilot House Grille maintains regional cooking traditions by serving southern dishes to visitors throughout their stay at the park.

The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset with vehicle entrance fees. Visitors find clearly marked trails, parking at most attractions, and varying difficulty levels for hikes.

The lake here is known for holding large catfish that attract anglers seeking trophy catches. It ranks among the finest fishing destinations in the region for this type of sport fishing.
