A 375-acre lake is popular with boaters and skiers, and fishing for bass, crappie, catfish and bream is excellent. Two nature trails wind through a cypress swamp and sandhill area, habitats which are representative of southern Georgia. Alligators, bald eagles, the rare limpkin, herons, indigo snakes and many other species also live in this protected park. Throughout the year, gopher tortoises may be seen digging their dens in the sandy soil. Visitors to this scenic park will see an abundance of wildlife, particularly gopher tortoises and 'buzzards.' During winter, thousands of these large birds, which are actually black vultures and turkey vultures, roost in the trees and soar overhead.
