Little Ocmulgee State Park, State park in Telfair County, Georgia, United States.
Little Ocmulgee State Park is a 1,360-acre Georgia state park 2 miles north of McRae-Helena on the Little Ocmulgee River. Its 256-acre lake, formed at a natural diversion of the river, has a beach of fine white sand. The park holds a 60-room lodge, a championship 18-hole golf course with pro shop, and the 2.6-mile Oak Ridge Trail.
Part of Little Ocmulgee State Park was first built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression, around the natural diversion of the Little Ocmulgee River into a lake. That lake covers 256 acres (104 ha) and has a beach of fine white sand washed down from the surrounding river soil. The park now also holds a 60-room lodge and the 18-hole Wallace Adams Memorial Golf Course.
The park's lake carries fine white sand washed down from the Ocmulgee and Little Ocmulgee rivers, giving it a natural beach where visitors swim. The 18-hole course is named the Wallace Adams Memorial Golf Course, and the park also holds an amphitheater and restaurant. The 2.6-mile Oak Ridge Trail lets visitors watch native wildlife and plants.
The park lies 2 miles (3.2 km) north of McRae-Helena on the Little Ocmulgee River, with the 256-acre lake, beach and lodge at its centre. The 2.6-mile Oak Ridge Trail loops through the grounds for wildlife and plant watching. Campers choose from 55 tent, trailer and RV sites, 10 cottages or a group camp with pioneer camping.
The 256-acre lake has its own beach sand: the soil along the Little Ocmulgee River is fine white sand, so the swimming beach rests on white sand rather than imported material. The park lies 2 miles north of McRae-Helena, and the 2.6-mile Oak Ridge Trail passes through the grounds.
