Fort Yargo State Park

A very nice state park. Probably the best that the wife and I have been to over the last 6 weeks. We have decided to go to one state park a week until we visit all of the state parks in Georgia.

This park has it all. A beach RV camping, primitive camping cabins to rent and it even has a yurt if you want to rent a yurt as well. Several pavilions dozens of picnic tables and a large concession area with a very large covered pavilion next to the concession area. This park looks like it has a lot of visitors in the summertime.

There are canoes available as well as paddle boats. The swimming activities are no lifeguard at this time and the boats that can be used are closed for the season. There are also plenty of trails and such for those that like to do that. This is a dog friendly park. The visitor center is very nice in the staff are very pleasant to work with.

This was my first visit and hike at Fort Yargo State Park. I completed a 6 mile hike and it was absolutely beautiful. There were no issues with parking in the area was very clean. I hope to visit
again when the weather is a tad bit warmer.☺

Buetiful park w great views. Nice pathways with paved trails and dirt trails around the lake. We came up to spend a family day hiking and film a marketing video about website design for my company, Zanardo Dezignz.

Excellent mountain bike trails. There's even a super cool tool station for your bike near the visitors center.

We are coming back to visit the beach during the summer to swim and go kayaking and canoeing.

Visiting my daughter & her family all the way from Arizona.... And this gem is 10 mins from her house. Literally it is half woods and half lake. Such beautiful scenery while you play in the lake. It was a bit busy, cuz it was Labor Day, but we had a fantastic day!!! Everyone was so very nice and respectful to each other!! I highly recommend this spot to have a family day!!

Such a beautiful park! Plenty of trails to hike and jog. Tons of accessible shoreline for fishing and paddling (kayak, canoe, SUP, etc). The beach is a fun spot to hang out and grill with family and friends and just launch your exploration of the park! Very well kept and maintained! Totally will be going back!!

I personally love Fort Yargo. It is one of the best places to take your kids or family. We just spent three days there camping and it wasn’t bad. People were nice. It was really quiet. Fishing is good for the younger kids. Plenty of bluegill and sunfish for them to catch. It’s a little harder unless you have a boat and you can fish the less fish areas for adults, I love Fort Yargo, though one of my favorite places to go escape from reality for a little while. The swimming area is also super fun for your kids and family as well. Pretty well-kept up the people in charge of it could be a little nicer sometimes, but they just try to do their jobs overall love fort yargo highly recommend for families.

Really enjoyed the park this winter. Camping spots were quite large. Bathroom was nice. Enjoyed the mtn biking trails. Looking forward to returning sometime!

Fort Yargo is the perfect location for biking, hiking, picnics or friends/family cookouts. Grills and playgrounds are scattered throughout the property. Spend a perfect day with great scenery.

Book a yurt for a night to see how things would be, wow very serene and pleasant. Just make sure you bring your own bedding. The futon mattresses may not accommodate how comfortable you want to be.

We stayed at the new cabins in the front of park. Close to hiking/biking trails and the entrance. The town of Winder was just outside of park and had plenty of shops, grocery and restaurants with a mile. The cabins were beautiful and perfect for a family gathering.

This park is super nice. Lots of trail options, interesting things to see and experience. Yurts, water activities, events - all around fun for those that enjoy outdoor peace.

Staying in a yurt at Fort Yargo was a great experience. You get the feel of camping from cooking outside and walking to the restrooms, with the comfort of heat/air and beds. Small refrigerators would be beneficial. The view of the lake from yurt #6 was gorgeous.

Very nice, clean park! The beach, the yurts, the cabins all looked really nice. The park office is nice. Every bridge we crossed on foot seemed to be brand new or just super well maintained. We played disc golf and would go back and do it again. It was a fun wooded course. A lot of ups, downs and curves to throw around. A little thorny if you get off the course. Overall, we will definitely go back.

This park is huge! I want to come back and camp and take more pictures. Not sure what the beach part is like but seems like a great place to walk. Loved the visitors center and store!

Went to Ft. Yargo State Park to hike. As we walked past campsites and the yurts, they looked very nice. The hike we took was about 7 miles and did follow the lake in areas. There's also a separate trail for mountain biking. Some construction is happening right now, but a bridge that crosses the lake looks almost complete (03/23).

I love the walking trail and the view of the lake. Barrow has done an amazing job here thank you.

Wonderful natural State Park. We volunteered during the "State Park day" and did cleaning for a playground area. This park is very picturesque and features a beach. Like all state parks there's a $5 parking fee and it's well worth it. The visitor Center looks brand new in modern featuring a gift shop. The best thing about this park is the people including park ranger Aiden. He planned our event successfully and was very helpful in coordinating the resources. There is everything you would want featured at this park.

Grew up in the area running on the trails. Now I take my kids for the playground, beach and camping. Quiet area, easy to set up. Very clean campground. Bathrooms clean.

We love Ft Yargo for biking, roller blading, hiking, swimming, camping, going to the playgrounds, and even visiting the gift shop! We come here often.

Got a good 3 miles in today. This state park is comparable to Deviles lake in Wisconsin. Crazy busy and a lot to offer. I'm really starting to like Georgia each day. This is a park we would love to come back too and camp.
