Hamburg Park

Quiet and peaceful, Hamburg State Park is the pawfect place to get away from it all with your four-legged pal. Located just outside the town of Mitchell in east Georgia, this 740-acre site offers a woofderful mix of history and outdoor recreation with its historical structures and modern-day facilities.

Hamburg State Park is home to a restored 1921 water-powered gristmill that is still operational and open to the public seasonally. Don't miss the chance to see corn being ground the good old-fashioned way if you can! There's also a museum that's open during events where you can view old agricultural tools that were used in rural Georgia. Fido isn't allowed inside buildings, though, so have another member of your pawty watch your pooch if you'd like to check out the gristmill and museum.

Furtunately, furry visitors are welcome on the trails, so your pup can tag along as you explore the park grounds. Just remember to keep your canine companion on a leash at all times and bring bags to clean up after them. Always have water to share too! Hamburg offers 3.5 miles of easy trails that are great for stretching the legs and getting some fresh air with the beautiful Georgia outdoors as your backdrop. Benches are available along the way should you and your doggo need to take a break.

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the various wildlife species that call the area home, including turtles, raccoons, deer, alligators, and several birds. Other activities that you and Fido can enjoy at Hamburg State Park are boating, geocaching, and picnicking. If you'd like to stay overnight, the park has a 32-site campground that accommodates tents, trailers, and RVs. All sites are located on Hamburg Lake, so you get pawsome views of the water wherever you set up camp!

For a relaxing afternoon or weekend with your pupper, you can't go wrong with Hamburg State Park!
