We loved the campground at General Coffee State Park and one of the best parts was driving over to Heritage Farm to park by the lake and explore the hiking trails. The park has over 1,500 acres so there is so much to explore.
I'm always more interested in heading down the forest trails or walking along the river.
But the trails at the lake start at the farmyard!
There are beautiful log cabins, barns and fenced off areas for the animals.
So I spent some time photographing some of the beauty here (before heading off to the river to hike less frequented trails).
Goats, Sheep, Chickens, Horses and more!
He looks like Billy Goat Gruff!
Lots of well maintained buildings on the farm.
Aren't the log structures beautiful!
A collage of this one.
One you can go inside or sit on the porch!
And the Purple Martins were in abundance, hopefully eating the gnats that were everywhere!
We really loved the horse and wish we had found out his name.
General Coffee State Park was donated to the state in 1970 and is named after General John Coffee, a planter, US Congressman and military leader. What a treasure it is. More info HERE.
We would love to go again in the Fall when it is cooler and the Fall leaves are turning.
Have you been to any state parks in Georgia? We would love to visit more of them.

...Diane, what a fabulous destination and they have flying mosquito control!
What interesting buildings on that farm. Looks like a very nice place. Loved the gourds as a martin house.
