Most of us have been to the state parks in Georgia that are pretty humungous in size. I mean, even at 233-acres, Vogel State Park is a giant compared to this one. Many Georgians don’t even know that this small state park even exists, however, this autumn will open up the perfect opportunity to explore away from all the crowds and leaf peepers.

One of the coziest, family-friendly state parks in Georgia in also the smallest—Moccasin Creek State Park in Clarkesville.

This spectacular state park is one of the best places where you can get a glimpse of fall without all the tourists and leaf peepers on the trails.

At just slightly over 30-acres, Moccasin Creek is known as the smallest state park in Georgia, but that doesn’t discredit the amount of activities to be had.

Camping, for instance, is a huge pastime for people visiting the park, especially because of the close proximity to Lake Burton.

Lake Burton clocks in at almost 3,000-acres in size, however, Moccasin Creek only sits on the shores of a small fraction of it.

Many visitors to Moccasin Creek enjoy the solitude of nature during their trip.
