Laura S. Walker State Park

912-287-4900

Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants.  Walking or biking along the lake’s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park’s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent.  The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course’s three large lakes.  The park’s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>

						<p>Located near the northern edge of the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, this park is home to many fascinating creatures and plants, including alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. &nbsp;Walking or biking along the lake&rsquo;s edge and nature trail, visitors may spot the shy gopher tortoise, numerous oak varieties, saw palmettos, yellow shafted flickers, warblers, owls and great blue herons. The park&rsquo;s lake offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating, and kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. &nbsp;The Lakes, a championship 18-hole golf course, features a clubhouse, golf pro and junior/senior rates. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the course&rsquo;s three large lakes. &nbsp;The park&rsquo;s namesake was a Georgia writer, teacher, civic leader and naturalist who loved trees and worked for their preservation.</p>
