Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Wildlife center and museum in Mansfield, Georgia, United States.
Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center is a protected area spanning 6,400 acres with forests, lakes, and fields, offering a mix of natural habitats. The 22 lakes throughout the property form the backbone of the network of trails that crisscross the land.
The center is named after Charles Newton Elliott, a significant administrator of Georgia's natural resources whose work spanned from 1906 to 2000. His leadership shaped how forests and water were managed and protected in the region over nearly a century.
The museum displays local wildlife through interactive exhibits and a freshwater aquarium that help visitors understand the region's native species. The collected artifacts tell the story of how people have hunted and fished in this area over time.
The center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 4:30 PM and allows visitors to hike, horseback ride, hunt, and fish. Educational programs run regularly throughout the week to help people learn more about the natural resources here.
The property has 28 lodge-style rooms and a conference facility that can host 310 people at once. This makes it a place where large groups can gather and stay together while enjoying the outdoor setting.
