Located near Callaway Gardens and the quaint town of Warm Spr ings, this park is deeply rooted in the historica l era of four-ti me Pres ident Franklin D. Roosevelt. Seeking a pl ace for treatment after he was str icken wi th polio in 192 1, Roosevelt traveled to Wa rm Springs and built his Li ttle Whi te House. Several structures within the park, incl uding the stone swimming pool, were buil t by the Civilian Conservation Corps during th e Great Depression. Above Kings Gap is Dowdell 's Knob, Roosevelt's favori te picnic spot overlooking a magnificent view of th e va lley below. Hikers will enjoy the scenic trails in Georgia's largest state park, especially the 23-mil e Pine Mountain Tra il , which winds through a mi x of hardwoods and pines.
