The coordinates will bring you to a beautiful, peaceful section of Kolomoki Mounds State Park and Historic Site.
This historically significant park is the oldest and largest Woodland Indian site in the southeastern U.S., occupied by American Indians from 350 to 750 A.D. Georgia’s oldest great temple mound, standing 57 feet high, dominates two smaller burial mounds and several ceremonial mounds. The park’s museum is built around an excavated mound, providing an unusual setting for learning who these people were and how they lived. Inside, visitors will find numerous artifacts and a film. Outdoor activities include camping, fishing, picnicking and boating. Hikers can choose from two scenic trails. The Spruce Pine Trail offers views of lakes Yahola and Kolomoki, while the Trillium Trail meanders through hardwoods and pines.

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a New Deal program launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 to provide jobs and environmental conservation for young men during the Great Depression. Kolomoki Mounds State Park benefited from the fine work of the men employed with the CCC.
