The mounds include Georgia's oldest great temple mound, two burial mounds and four ceremonial mounds. The park's museum is partia lly situated inside an excavated mound, providing an unusua l setting for viewing artifacts and a film. Outdoor activities include camping, fish ing, picnicking, boating and swimmi ng.
