OutdOOrs Go With the Flow at Seminole State Park DONALSONVILLE Seminole State Park surrounds a small cove on the stunning 37,500-acre Lake Seminole in southwest Georgia. Here you can see the winding Chattahoochee River empty into a vast body of sky-reflecting water. It’s home to everything from great egrets to American alligators and thick swaths of delicate lily pads. The smooth water of Lake Seminole is perfect for water skiing and tubing, and there’s nothing like seeing the sunset’s kaleidoscope of rosy colors mirrored on the water during an evening boat ride. Rent a kayak or canoe at the state park to paddle through peaceful coves while appreciating the forested scenery. Pack your tackle box and a picnic lunch for a day of angling from the large fishing dock, where you might catch catfish, crappie, or bass. Or, enjoy the scenery by foot from a boardwalk that crosses over a picturesque water-lily pond. The sandy beach – with a designated swim area – is also a big draw for water lovers and families. Little ones can make sandcastles by day and s’mores at night around the fire. There are also two playgrounds to burn off some energy, plus a miniature golf area. Choose from 50 tent, trailer, and RV electric campsites or 14 two-bedroom cottages with bathrooms and kitchens to make your temporary home. Many of the sites are near the water’s edge, offering excellent views and easy access to the lake. EXPLOREGEORGIA.ORG 47
