About James H. Floyd State Park

This Georgia state park sits in the Ridge and Valley region near Summerville, surrounded by farmland and the Chattahoochee National Forest. Visitors can hike to an old marble mine with a small waterfall, walk lake loop trails, and fish in two stocked lakes. Families often enjoy the playground, the lakeside boardwalk for feeding ducks, and renting pedal boats. The park also offers a small campground and four cottages, and the trailhead for the long Pinhoti Trail lies a short hike away.
