WEATHER ADVISORY: Crooked River is closed until further notice due to the approaching storm. Call the park office for more details.
Located on Georgia's Colonial Coast, this park offers cozy facilities in a beautiful setting. Campsites are surrounded by Spanish moss-draped oaks, while cottages are set near the river. A nature trail winds through maritime forest and salt marsh, and hikers may see gopher tortoises, fiddler crabs, herons and other coastal birds. The park's nature center features fish, snakes, turtles and other animals native to this part of Georgia. A boat ramp is popular with anglers who often take to the water before sunrise. Birding enthusiasts will enjoy the large bird blind that provides close views of painted buntings, redwing black birds and other species. Visitors may venture to the nearby ruins of the tabby "McIntosh Sugar Works" mill, built around 1825 and later used as a starch factory during the Civil War. Nearby is the ferry and visitor center for famous Cumberland Island National Seashore known for wild horses and mansion ruins.
NOTICE: Crooked River State Park will be conducting a prescribed burn during the weeks of Jan 12th-16th or Jan 19th-23rd. Weather conditions will determine the two days of actual burning and dense smoke can be expected for up to a week following the burn. A small portion of our campground sites will be closed during this period.
