Description:
Located on Pine Mountain, this 9,047-acre park is deeply rooted in the historical era of four-time President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Seeking a place for treatment after he was stricken with polio in 1921, Roosevelt discovered the therapeutic waters of Warm Springs, a tributary of the Flint River and the creek for which the town of Warm Springs is named. He built the Little White House nearby. Several structures within the park, including the mountain-stone swimming pool, were built by Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps during the Depression. Above Kings Gap is Dowdell’s Knob, Roosevelt’s favorite picnic spot, which overlooks a magnificent view of the valley below. Hikers will enjoy the scenic trails in Georgia’s largest state park.
