Laura S. Walker is the only Georgia State Park named for a woman. It's unique in other ways, too. It perches at the top of the Okefenokee Swamp near Waycross. You can get your money's worth from this park by just camping on one of the spacious sites on Laura Walker Lake and enjoying the spectacular sunset. Besides the view, you may even spot one of the wild pigs in the park.
But, for the active camper, that's just the iceing on the cake. The park and surrounding area offer many choices. The park boasts an 18 hole championship golf course. You can stalk deer or otter with your camera on the Big Creek Nature Trail, enjoy boating or fishing on the lake and swim in the pool during the summer months.
