Located off I-75 in middle Georgia, Indian Springs is thought to be the oldest state park in the United States. The Creek Indians used the springs for centuries to heal the sick and impart extra vigor to the well. During the 1800s, the area was a bustling resort town with numerous hotels. Today, visitors can still sample the mineral-filled spring water while enjoying the park's cottages, camping, swimming, fishing and boating. Children frequently wade in the rocky creek that crosses the park. Many structures within the park, such as the spring house, were built during the Great Depression by members of President F.D. Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). A museum highlights Creek Indians, the resort era and CCC history. The park's Lake McIntosh is named for the Creek Chief William McIntosh who, in 1825, signed the illegal Treaty of Indian Springs deeding Indian land to the Georgia government. He was soon assassinated by his people for his treason.
