The park looks much better maintained than my previous visit with little to no trash anywhere! I felt encouraged to take a small hike to the old powerhouse ruins and also explored the wide open shoals on the east side of the bridge. The powerhouse once generated electricity for a textile mill 10 miles away in Crawford, GA formerly known as Crawford Cotton Mill and later Jefferson Textile Mills. The bridge looks great to be 141 years old and at 236 feet (based on the monument sign near the bridge) it is the longest original-site covered bridge still in use in the state. It was built in 1885 by Washington W. King, the son of the famous slave turned bridge builder Horace King. It is designed using their signature Town lattice truss system held with wooden pegs. As a state park they offer several amenities including: 7 miles of hiking trails 5 miles of biking trail 14 miles of horse trails 21 Tent, Trailer & RV Campsites 11 Equestrian Campsites 1 Buddy Equestrian Campsite 22 Horse Stables 3 Log Cabin Bunkhouses 1 Group Shelter 3 Picnic Shelters 70 picnic sites 3 Pioneer Campsites Kayak/canoe rentals Geocaching Playground Paddling Fishing 1,118 Acres overall Visitor Center w/restrooms Parking has increased to $10 Annual Georgia Parks passes are $70 Overall the best features of this park are the historic bridge and shoals.

What an incredible local find. I literally just googled things to do with kids in Athens, GA. I was…read moreshocked first that it was free, so we traveled about 30 minutes from my daughters home. What a serene park, with a smaller zoo but was so nice. The tree coverage was perfect and it was a nice little journey into nature. There were bald eagles, owls, snakes, alligator, otter, red fox, and my favorite bears! I have never been so close to bears. The park is well kept and I was very impressed by the grounds. Nice little zoo takes about 30-45 minutes to walk through. Follow signs to park to see zoo signs. They also have a very nice public pool. This is a great spot for kiddos. This would be perfect for a picnic. And it's FREE! Very nice spot to visit.

Victor Lord Park includes ten baseball fields, four multi-purpose fields, a dog park, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds and pavilions.

There are several entrances and exits, so check the signage to find your destination. [Round number review 800 in Georgia - review 231 of 2025 - 23795 overall]

This park is actually a sister park of Harbin's Park. Basically, Harbin's Park is three parks. The main park offers mountain bike trails, multiple purpose trails and equestrian trails. This is the only one with the football field and the 2nd Harbin's Park has two baseball diamonds. All of these parks are near each other. By far, this collection of parks is some of the very best that Gwinnett County owns. There is so much land here, the parks do not get overcrowded (probably because they are farther from the city) and there is so much to do here. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you love the outdoors. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful. Review #364] (10th Review of 2016)
