Standing Boy Creek State Park, State park with wildlife management area in Columbus, United States
Standing Boy Creek State Park is a nature preserve covering about 1,600 acres along Lake Oliver with trails for hiking, running, and mountain biking. The landscape offers multiple pathways of varying difficulty for outdoor recreation.
The park was established in 2004 through an executive order by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. This creation was part of efforts to preserve natural areas in the region.
The park functions as a wildlife management area where regulated hunting for deer, turkey, and dove occurs during designated seasons throughout the year.
Visitors need to purchase a specific parking pass as regular Georgia State Parks passes are not accepted here. It is helpful to check current access conditions before planning a visit.
The trail system closes after heavy rainfall to protect the paths and preserve the surroundings. This practice helps reduce erosion and maintain the park's natural condition.
