Little Ocmulgee State Park and Lodge is one of Georgia's best public golfing spots, home to the championship 18-hole Wallace Adams Memorial Golf Course, which has been acclaimed as one of the American Southeast's best public courses. The 1,360-acre park, which is located along the Little Ocmulgee River near the town of McRae, was originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and is home to a 60-room lodge offering family-friendly rooms and cabin rentals and a full-service Southern-style restaurant. The park's 256-acre lake offers a seasonal sandy swimming beach and opportunities for fishing, while its 2.6-mile Oak Ridge Trail provides chances to spot gopher tortoises and indigo snakes. Other amenities include lighted tennis courts, a private swimming pool, a children's splash pad and playground, and day-use picnic shelters.
