Georgia state parks and historic sites: special events April - December 1994

Georgia's 59 state parks and historic sites are easy to get to and hard to forget! Sites are conveniently located, no matter where you live or travel in Georgia. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the beautiful Colonial Coast, Georgia has some of the southeast's most scenic state parks and reasonably priced overnight accommodations.
Park Office Hours: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily. Hours may vary at some parks.
Park Hours: 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. daily, except for Panola
Mountain, Providence Canyon, Stephen C. Foster and Tallulah Gorge, which have special seasonal operating hours.
Historic Site Hours: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; 2 - 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Closed Mondays (except legal holidays), Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Hours vary at the Little White House and Dahlonega Gold Museum.
Program Fees & Preregistration: Most special events are free, although some charge a nominal program or materials fee. If preregistration is required for an event, it is indicated in the event listings. All state parks, except Tallulah Gorge, charge a $2 daily parking fee (see Georgia ParkPass below). There is a small admission charge at historic sites; however, registered overnight guests at state park lodges and cottages usually receive discounted or free admission. Historic sites do not charge a separate parking fee.
Georgia ParkPass: The ParkPass is an excellent way to support Georgia's natural resources because all of the revenues are used for repair and maintenance of state parks and historic sites. A $2 daily parking fee is charged at all state parks except Tallulah Gorge; however, visitors may purchase an annual Georgia ParkPass for $25 (discounts available for seniors and disabled veterans). A ParkPass mail order form is included on the back of this brochure. Overnight park guests pay one $2 ParkPass fee for the duration of their stay. Wednesday visitors and organized school groups visiting in buses are exempt from needing a ParkPass.
