About Laura S. Walker State Park
626 acres of land sit near the Okefenokee Swamp, a location that brings alligators, great blue herons, and pitcher plants into the park's grounds. It is named for Laura S. Walker, a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader, and naturalist. Inside the boundaries is a 120-acre lake along with a championship 18-hole golf course that has its own pro shop.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
