Florence Marina State Park, State park near Lake Walter F. George, Omaha, United States.

Florence Marina State Park is a 173-acre Georgia state park near Omaha on the eastern shore of Walter F. George Lake, a reservoir on the Chattahoochee River. It holds a deep-water marina used for fishing and waterskiing, plus 39 tent, trailer and RV campsites, 7 cottages, 8 efficiency units, two playgrounds, a group shelter, a picnic shelter and tennis courts.

The park occupies the site of Florence, a frontier town first named Liverpool after the English port. Florence had a covered bridge to Alabama, a newspaper, a bank and a hotel, but declined after a flood washed away the bridge in 1846 and the railroad bypassed it. It was officially incorporated from 1837 to 1995.

The Kirbo Interpretive Center displays objects left by the area's original inhabitants alongside exhibits about local wildlife, offering visitors insight into the region's past.

Most of the facilities here are built around the water, so the visit works best if you plan to boat, fish, or swim in the lake. If you want to stay overnight, you can choose between camping spots and cottages, but booking ahead is a good idea, especially in warmer months.

The Kirbo Interpretive Center, named for the local Kirbo family, holds displays of snakes, turtles and fish alongside artifacts spanning from prehistoric times to the early 20th century, and it teaches visitors about Native Americans. A visitor can also look for herons, egrets and possibly bald eagles over the water.
