Indian Springs State Park

Come visit the oldest park in the nation. Indian Springs State Park became an official "State Forest Park" in 1927, and it a great destination for outdoor fun. The Creek Indians used the springs for centuries to heal the sick and impart extra vigor to the well. Today, visitors can still sample the spring water while enjoying the park's cottages, camping, fishing and boating. Relax by the beach, swim in the cool lake or play a few rounds of mini golf, this park has something for everyone.
