Stephen C. Foster State Park

Stephen C. Foster State Park is a 135-acre state park in southern Georgia, about 15.5 miles from the town of Fargo. The State Department of Natural Resources manages the land, and the park holds a single campground, making it a compact base for exploring the surrounding area. The most comfortable time to visit runs from late fall through early spring. A nearby weather station records typical average highs of about 65 to 68 degrees in January and February, with lows in the low to mid 40s, while summer highs typically reach the low 90s. Short walks and paddling routes lie close at hand. Trembling Earth Nature Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, and the Suwannee River is about 3.7 miles out, as is the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Overnight Camping Permit area. Paddlers can also reach the Middle Fork Suwannee River, roughly 7 miles from the park.
