    Came here today (Sunday Feb 18, 2018 between 2pm -6pm for a hike). As many other reviewers have mentioned, they have all the amenities of a state or national park, including hiking and biking trails, full hookup RV and also primitive (tent) campsites. Plenty of public bath houses. Several different trails with several difficulty levels (the 1 or so mile trail along the river is very nice). Everything is well preserved and the sites are nice and mostly level for many different lengths of RV's. They also have cabins for rent which are very nice and relatively new (within last 8 years). All in all a great visit and highly recommend!

    Seriously, this is the end of a 5.5 mile walk through the woods?

    This review is for the 11-mile combined Riverwalk/Bend Trails, which I did for my first trip here. The trailhead is at the edge of the river, and I'm just going to go all SPOILER ALERT here and tell you that the view here is really as good as you'll find along the whole trail. So there's one for the lazy among you. But is it such a bad thing to wander alongside a wooded path along that river? [Rhetorical question, don't answer.] And so the trail goes for about a mile until you make it to the tower. As most reviews state, you don't really get an enhanced view from the top but it's worth climbing because, well, it's there. The trail then goes on and becomes the Bend trail at some point, and the park helpfully posts markers at every half-mile. It was a bit muddy early on, which wasn't helped by a bridge out along the 1.5-2.0 segment of the trail - I had to jump across a creek to clear it only to land in quicksand-like mud that necessitated a trip to the shoe store later that day to replace some footwear that would take longer to clean than an 11-mile hike would take. The trail was generally easy to follow with one bendy exception around 2.5 miles where you wind up at the river again (for the last time as it turns out, and at an appropriate part where the Chattahoochee actually bends). Had I not retained a copy of the trail map I don't know that I would have easily progressed. I'm going to be honest here - I enjoy walking in the woods, but in early February that's pretty much what this hike was - there isn't any scenic viewpoint that did anything for me. At the 4-mile point there's a meadow scene out of the woods that is nice enough. It then takes you to the EXTREMELY anticlimactic ending of a bathroom with a sign saying "End Of Trail." Really? I kept along the gravel path nearby just to see the river for one last view - I hadn't gone that far for nothing. The walk back was a little more difficult to follow - I got briefly lost twice but I eventually made it back. It took me 4 hours at a generally nonstop pace. There is supposed to be another 1-mile trail near the entrance to the park that is supposed to be nice, but I'd done all the hiking I could do today, especially since I needed to buy some new shoes.

    Very clean state park with new facilities. They have cabins, RV and walk in tent camping. Didn't camp, but facilities looked very up to date. Some campsites offer more foliage privacy screens than others. See if they will let you scope your camping spot before you just pick one if privacy is an important issue to you. There is a boat ramp into the river with a playground, restrooms, and pavilion nearby. There is a primarily flat hiking trail by the river that goes to a tower. The tower is beneath the tree canopy and doesn't offer any better view of the river. $5 to park. Kayak rentals available for $30.

    Faded signs.

    I don't even know where to begin. This place was such a letdown. The trails were overgrown and uninspired. You could see the road from most of the trail we were on. At one points we were walking under power lines this is where we picked up the ticks I think. I'd never walked into that many spider webs before we went there! Not really the parks fault but it does say something about the lack of hikers. There wasn't really a pay off on the hike. Just takes you to the Chattahoochee, again I'm not sure what I was expecting. I've just set a high bar having visited so many parks. We won't be back and I really can't give this place any more than a star. The shop was overpriced and the shirts were really boring. Everything we've come to expect from GA state parks this one didn't have. Bummer.

    Staff was helpfully and all the facilities were clean and worked as they should. The camp site was organised and easy to hook up utilities

    It's a nice state park. Great for hiking along the river, decent amenities. As far as camping goes, book early, it fills up fast.

    Friendly, helpful staff. Would be nice if this store had more items since other services are several miles away.

    I love that there is a State Park close to my home. We use the hiking trails here . Hiking by the river is a great experience.

    I had never pitched a tent, and it wouldn't have happened if not for the amazing campsite hosts we had.
