F. D. Roosevelt State Park


The F.D. Roosevelt is over 9,000 acres in size and is the largest state park in Georgia. The park is popular for hiking, camping, picnicking and learning more history about F.D Roosevelt. The western portion of the park was designated a National Landmark in 1997.

There are over 40 miles of trails in the park along with the popular Pine Mountain Trail which is 23 miles in length. Other areas to visit includes Dowdell's Knob where the former president used to picnic. Many of the park's amenities were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps; these include the Liberty Bell Swimming Pool which is fed by cool springs, the wooded campground.

Other activities that visitors can participate in include canoeing, playing on the playground, horseback riding, stargazing in the evening, and bird watching during the day or visiting Callaway Gardens. Picnic shelters are available to rent for the day, and there are two lakes in the park which are stocked for fishing, they are the 15-acre Lake Delanor and the 25-acre Lake Franklin.

Visitors to the park who wish to stay have the option to camp in Backcountry campsites, in tent, trailer and RV sites, one of the 22 cottages, in group accommodation or in the Pioneer Campground.

The park is open each day from 7am-10pm; a park office is located on the grounds which are opened each day from 8am.
