Hamburg State Park is a delightful park located along the banks of the 225-acre Hamburg Lake, located near the cities of Warthen and Jewell. The park, which is named for South Carolina's former nearby industrial town of the same name, spans 741 acres and showcases technologies common to historic rural Georgia at its preserved 1921 water-powered gristmill facility, which is still operational today. A museum showcases a collection of agricultural tools and appliances common to rural Georgian farm life in the 19th and 20th centuries, open to the public during special event times. Park visitors can enjoy great opportunities for fishing along Hamburg Lake and the Little Ogeechee River, which are stocked with crappie, bream, and largemouth bass. An overnight campground also offers 32 tent and RV campsites, as well as day-use picnic sites and group shelters.
