Elijah Clark State Park

This 447-acre state park sits on the western shore of Clarks Hill Lake, offering camping facilities, sandy beaches, boat ramps, and recreational activities for outdoor enthusiasts visiting the region.

The park honors Elijah Clark, a Revolutionary War hero and Georgia frontiersman who led pioneer forces during the American Revolution and helped establish early settlements in the southeastern United States.

A reconstructed log cabin from 1780 displays period furniture, utensils, and tools, while the graves of Elijah Clark and his wife Hannah serve as historical landmarks preserving Georgia's colonial heritage.

The park provides 172 camping sites for tents and RVs, 20 lakeside cottages, picnic shelters, boat rental services, and accessible facilities with convenient highway access from major Georgia cities.

Annual festivals including Arts & Crafts during Memorial Day weekend, Bluegrass in May, and Old Timer's in October celebrate regional traditions while offering mini-golf and archery activities.
