Overview
With modern-day facilities amidst reminders of
days gone by, Hamburg State Park offers great lake fishing and a 1921 water-powered grist
mill still operating today. Buy a bag of corn meal at the country store and visit the
museum displaying old agricultural tools used in rural Georgia. Shaded campsites sit along
the edge of quiet Hamburg Lake fed by the Little Ogeechee River.

trail that borders Lake Hamburg most of the way. A few back country trails are also
available and are mainly through pine and hardwood forest.

campsites all with electricity and water hook-ups. The sites are very nice with most of

side of the park. Rates are $15.00 per night for RVs and trailers, $13.00 per night for
tents, and only $1.50 per person per night for pioneer campsites with a $20.00 minimum. A
small grocery store has firewood, ice and snacks.
