Mistletoe State Park is a Georgia state park managed by the State Department of Natural Resources, set aside as a fishing destination. It sits in the state's eastern corner, and its own trails and water make it a base for both anglers and hikers within a short drive of one another. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 77°F, while July averages climb to about 91°F. Several short trails lie within a mile of the park, including the Office Trail at 0.6 miles and the Cliatt Creek Nature Trail Loop at 0.9 miles. For more fishing, Thurmond Marina is about 2.9 miles away, and Raysville Marina is about 5 miles away.
