About Fairview-Riverside State Park

The Otis House Museum, built in 1885, stands within the park's boundaries and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The 99 acres border the Tchefuncte River, where visitors camp, fish, and take part in water sports. A short nature trail and a boardwalk lead through forested wetlands along the riverbank, and the grounds include 100 campsites.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
