People often think larger state parks are better. Sure, places like the 9,000-acre F.D. Roosevelt State Park are spectacular. There’s so much to see and do, and whether you’re looking for recreational activities or just want to sight-see, there’s enough land that you will never run out of space to explore. But don’t ignore our smaller state parks in the Peach State! The smallest state park in Georgia is Moccasin Creek State Park in Rabun County. This little gem is a mere 32 acres, but it’s absolutely stunning and is definitely worth a visit!

Rabun County is tiny. It's in the very north-easternmost corner of the state, and has a population of around 16,000. Because it's a fairly rural area with no major cities to speak of, it can sometimes be ignored by tourists.
