Magnolia Springs State Park

United States

Overview

Brochure InfoBeautiful Magnolia Springs State Park is known for its crystal clear springs flowing 7 million gallons per day. A boardwalk spans the cool water, allowing visitors to look for alligators, turtles and other wildlife near the springs. A 28-acre lake is available for fishing and boating. Overnight guests can choose from cottages and a small campground. Magnolia Springs State Park is part of both the Park Paddlers Club and the Muddy Spokes Club. During the Civil War, this site was called Camp Lawton and served as the worlds largest prison. Today, little remains of the prison stockade; however, the earthen breastworks which guarded it may still be seen. During 2010, Georgia Southern University archaeology teams uncovered the stockade wall and numerous personal articles from soldiers. Their discovery has been heralded as one of the most significant finds in recent history. Artifacts are currently on display at the university and at the Camp Lawton museum located at Magnolia Springs State Park..Brochure Info - RecreationHiking and Bicycling on 5 miles of trails, Muddy Spokes Club Fishing - accessible dock Boating - private boats allowed, ramp, Park Paddlers Club Canoe and Fishing Boat Rental GeoCaching 2 Playgrounds Picnicking Camp Lawton - Civil War excavation by Georgia Southern and Fish & Wildlife Service Weddings (park approval required) Brochure Info - Facilities and Restrictions1,070 Acres 9 Cottages 26 Tent, Trailer, RV Campsites 3 Walk-in Tent Campsites Pioneer Campground 8 Picnic Shelters 1 Group Shelter (seat 40-100) Brochure Info - Nearby AttractionsBrazell's Creek Golf Course at Gordonia-Alatamaha George L.
