About Hamburg State Park

Hamburg State Park sits on Hamburg Lake, which is fed by the Little Ogeechee River. Visitors can camp under shaded sites along the shoreline, fish for bass, crappie and bream, rent boats, and paddle. The restored water-powered gristmill still grinds corn during events, and a small museum displays old farming tools used across rural Georgia. Trails, a playground, picnic shelters and a group shelter round out the grounds, and wildlife such as turtles, alligators and deer live throughout the park.
