Field Trip Information
"Inspired by the natural wonders of Pine Mountain Ridge, F.D. Roosevelt State Park bridges the hope of the past to preservation for the future."
At 10,874 acres, Georgia’s largest state park is a hiker’s and backpacker’s haven. More than 40 miles of trails, including the popular 23 mile
Pine Mountain Trail
, wind through hardwood and pines, over creeks and past small waterfalls. Many visitors are surprised to find rolling mountains 80 miles southwest of Atlanta. Above King’s Gap is Dowdell’s Knob where President Franklin D. Roosevelt sometimes picnicked and pondered world affairs. A life-size sculpture of the president now welcomes visitors to the overlook.
Several park amenities were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression, including cottages and the Liberty Bell swimming pool fed by cool springs. A wooded campground sits near the edge of a small fishing lake, and privately operated stables offer guided horseback rides. In 1924, FDR came to this part of Georgia to swim in naturally warm springs that offered relief from polio. Today, nearby
Roosevelt’s Little White House State Historic Site
invites visitors to see his modest home, a museum and the pools that first drew him here.

Walk, run, hike or bike 400 miles in beautiful F. D. Roosevelt State Park within a year of start date. Obesity has more than doubled over the past twenty years. Now is the time to get children and adults active, and what a better way to do so than spending your time outside?
The challenge is based on the honor system which encourages responsibility and honesty in each participant. It is up to the participants to record their mileage for each day. After completion, participants who completed the 400 miles challenge will receive a certificates and t-shirts. If you complete the 400 miles before the year is complete we encourage you to keep recording your mileage. While 400 miles may seem overwhelming at first, it is only a little over one mile a day to complete the task.
