Richard B. Russell State Park

Richard B. Russell State Park encompasses 26,500 acres along Lake Richard B. Russell, featuring wooded areas, waterfront views, and recreational facilities.

In 1980, archaeologists discovered multiple Paleo-Indian sites near the park, indicating human habitation in this region over 10,000 years ago.

The park honors U.S. Senator Richard B. Russell Jr., who represented Georgia for 38 years and contributed significantly to the state's development.

The park offers 20 cottages, 27 campsites for tents and RVs, a boat ramp, swimming beach, and hiking trails accessible throughout the year.

Arrowhead Pointe Golf Course includes ten holes along the lake shoreline without visible lakefront houses, earning recognition from Golf Digest in 2005.
