General Coffee State Park








































        Outdoor Fun with a Cultural Twist
          Just outside Douglas, General Coffee
        State Park radiates Southern charm and
        natural beauty. Spanning more than 1,500
        acres, this park offers a delightful mix of
        outdoor adventure and rich agricultural
        history. Explore the Heritage Farm, where
        historic log cabins, a corn crib, and a tobacco
        barn paint a vivid picture of 19th-century
        farm life. Meet friendly farm animals like
        goats, pigs, and donkeys. Wander along
        boardwalks that wind through cypress
        swamps, home to rare pitcher plants, gopher
        tortoises, and the elusive indigo snake.
        With more than 13 miles of equestrian trails,
        cozy cottages, and the elegantly restored
        Burnham House for overnight stays, there’s
        something for everyone.
          Broxton Rocks Nature Preserve is a
        hidden gem that boasts a blend of geological
        wonders and rich biodiversity. This 3,799-
        acre preserve features striking sandstone
        outcrops, 30-foot cliffs, and a picturesque
        waterfall along Rocky Creek, creating a
        landscape reminiscent of the Appalachian
        Mountains. Home to more than 500 plant
        species – including rare finds like the
        green-fly orchid and Georgia plume – and
        diverse wildlife such as the gopher tortoise
