A.H. Stephens Historic Park

Step back in time and enjoy the outdoors of east central Georgia at the A.H. Stephens State Historic Park! Just a few miles off of I-20, this 1,177-acre site offers various recreational opportunities for the whole family, including canine members. That means Fido doesn't have to stay at home and miss out on all the fun!

The A.H. Stephens State Historic Park is just a short drive from town, making it the pawfect destination for a day trip or quick weekend getaway. Named after the vice president of the Confederacy and governor of Georgia, the park features historic architecture, a Civil War museum, and campgrounds. But adventurous doggos will be most excited about the miles of forested trails that are waiting to be explored! Four miles of trails are open to human and canine hikers, and your pup will have a snifftastic time taking in all the new sights and smells along the way! From Monday through Thursday, you and Fido can also tackle the horse trails, which span 21 miles. Be sure to keep your pooch on a 6-foot leash and clean up after them at all times!

Other activities that you can enjoy with your furry BFF include picnicking, geocaching, and boating. The park contains three lakes, and private boats with electric motors are welcome. If you'd like to check out the museum or historic house, have someone from your pawty wait outside with Fido as dogs are not allowed inside buildings. To extend your adventure, make yourselves at home at one of the park's many tent, trailer, and RV campsites. Don't furget to fill your cooler with your favorite camping foods! A few cottages are available as well, but only one allows four-legged guests, so be sure to book early! 

For a pawsome day out with your pup in Crawfordville, make your way to the A.H. Stephens State Historic Park!
