     Elijah Clark State Park

Reservations (800) 864-7275
Park (706) 359-3458


NOTICE: Due to low water levels, waterfront cottages may not be available. Only the day-use area boat ramp is open. The other three boat ramps and the fishing dock are closed.
Located on the western shore of 70,000-acre Clarks Hill Lake, this park is named for a frontiersman and Georgia war hero who led pioneers during the Revolutionary War. A recreated log cabin museum displays furniture, utensils and tools circa 1780 and is open on weekends April through November. Visitors can also view the graves of Clark and his wife, Hannah. Anglers and boaters will especially enjoy the park's location on the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. Cottages are located on the lake's edge, and the spacious campground is nestled into the forest.


Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
Office Hours: 8AM-5PM
