Sweetwater Creek State Park

Sweetwater Creek State Park is a state park in Lithia Springs that spans over 2,200 acres with a network of hiking paths through woodlands and along waterways. The terrain features rolling hills with distinctive red clay soils typical of western Georgia.

The New Manchester Manufacturing Company operated here as a textile mill before its destruction during the American Civil War. The ruins that remain tell the story of the region's industrial past and the conflict's impact on local communities.

The park grounds preserve various indigenous artifacts and serve as an outdoor classroom for environmental education programs throughout the year.

The park is open from sunrise to sunset with two main entrances providing parking and trail markers. Signage throughout the grounds helps visitors navigate and find specific features.

Water in Sweetwater Creek flows with force over rapids and natural rock formations that shape its distinctive character. These rock features create a striking backdrop as visitors walk through the grounds.
