Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park

Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park is located off Highway 27 south of Pine Mountain, Georgia and is approximately 40 minutes from Columbus Airport. This is the largest state park in Georgia and it allows for numerous activities as well as overnight stays. The 9,049 acre park is open daily from 7am to 10pm.

The park features over 40 miles of trails that head over creeks and past waterfalls as well as trough hardwood and pine. There are a couple of lakes here on which visitors can go boating, canoeing or try a spot of fishing and the Liberty Bell swimming pool is also located at the park. One of the big sights here is a life sized sculpture of President Franklin D. Roosevelt at Dowdell's Knob, where he enjoyed a picnic occasionally.

Anyone wishing to stay at the park for a few days and nights will find there are 22 cottages, two of which are dog friendly. There are many camping facilities here too including 140 tent, trailer and RV campsites. There are several good eateries near the park including the Mexican restaurant San Marcos on South Main Avenue and Moore's Whistling Pig Cafe on North Main Street.
