About General Coffee State Park

General Coffee State Park sits in south Georgia's wiregrass country and is known for its agricultural history. Heritage Farm displays log cabins, a corn crib, a tobacco barn, and a cane mill, and visitors often see farm animals such as goats, sheep, chickens, and pigs. A boardwalk and the Seventeen-Mile River pass through cypress swamp that shelters rare plants, pitcher plants, indigo snakes, and gopher tortoises. The park offers camping, cottages, and the 19th-century Burnham House, plus 13.4 miles of equestrian trails, birding, and nature photography. It was donated to the state in 1970 and honors General John Coffee.
