Seventeen-Mi le River winds through a cypress swamp where the park hosts rare and endangered plants. The threatened indigo snake and gopher torto ise make their homes in this longleaf pine/ wiregrass community. Overnight accommodations include cam ping, cottages. and the Burnham House. an elegantly decorated 19th century cabin perfect for romantic getaways. The park was donated to the state by a group of Coffee County citizens in 1970 and is named after General John Coffee. a pl anter. U.S. Congressman and mi li tary leader.
