Crooked River State Park

Crooked River State Park sits on Georgia's Colonial Coast and covers salt marshes and maritime forests that border the Intracoastal Waterway. The property includes four picnic shelters, boat ramps, camping grounds, cottages, and hiking trails that run through the natural landscape.

The park contains ruins of a tabby mill built in 1825 that once produced starch during the American Civil War. This structure reveals how the region was used for industrial production in that era.

The nature center shares information about coastal Georgia's wildlife through displays of local fish, snakes, turtles, and other creatures that live in the region.

The park is easy to reach with picnic areas, boat ramps, and a nature center for visitors. Plan your visit for warmer months when wildlife is more active and outdoor activities are more comfortable.

The park borders Cumberland Island National Seashore directly, where wild horses roam across undeveloped beaches and maritime forests. This direct link lets visitors explore two protected areas without much travel.
