| Notes: | |||||
|
FDR State Park, at 10,000 acres, is Georgia’s largest state park.
It is deeply rooted in the historical era of four-time president
Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Seeking a place for treatment after being stricken
with polio in 1921, Roosevelt traveled to nearby Warm Springs
and built his Little White House. Dowdell’s Knob was FDR’s
favorite picnic spot, overlooking a magnificent view of the valley
below. FDR’s grill was preserved, and can still be seen.
