Discover Sprewell Bluff State Outdoor Recreation Area in Thomaston Georgia

This gem on the Flint River is a perfect location for a daytime getaway. Visitors can cool off in the gently flowing river, skip rocks across the water, picnic on the river's edge or toss horseshoes in a grassy field.

Miles of trails wind along the bank and up rocky bluffs, offering excellent views from high above the river. Hikers can look for abundant wildflowers and butterflies.

Birding enthusiasts might spot tanagers, warblers, osprey and eagles. A boat ramp is available for canoeists, kayakers, rafters and anglers, and canoes may be rented from nearby outfitters.

In January of 2013 the park came under new management. The Upson County Board Of Commissioners took over management of the former state park and making it a county park. Upson County has updated the facilities and the recreation areas. New trails, a Trading Post, an Overlook Deck, Cabins, Camp Sites, and much more have been added and are open to the public.
