Heritage Farm
at General Coffee
State Park

First stop to experience Coffee County’s many outdoors activities is
General Coffee State Park. Kids love feeding the farm animals at the
park’s Heritage Farm. Paddlers and hikers enjoy the Seventeen-Mile
River and the boardwalk through cypress swamp, allowing glimpses
of rare pitcher plants, indigo snakes, and gopher tortoises. Bring your
own horse to ride along 13.4 miles of equestrian trails. The park also
offers camping, archery, biking, boating and fishing, geocaching, and
hiking.
One of the Douglas area’s coolest places to go is the
Broxton Rocks Preserve, open to the public Easter Sunday
and June through August. Follow the one-mile trail from the
gate to a roaring waterfall rushing over rock ledges. Plant life abounds,
some growing in unusual ways. Green-fly orchids, for example, which
normally grow on trees, adorn the rock walls at Broxton Rocks.
Hunt for quail, turkey, pheasant, deer, and wild boar at our three
hunting plantations, Seven South Plantation, Gopher Plantation,
and Tussock Bay, or sharpen your shooting skills on the plantations’
shooting ranges. The plantations have overnight accommodations
available, so you can make it a full weekend of hunting.

Another local pleasure in Coffee County is
the scenic drive along country roads to
pick-it-yourself farms and roadside produce
stands. Visit the local winery and pick your own fruit
at Paulk Vineyards in neighboring Irwin County, and you
don’t want to miss the Southern delicacies at Holt’s Bakery,
Amazing Grace Bakery and Pearl, A Cottage Makery!
