Hard Labor Creek State Park Details

Hard Labor Creek State Park no longer lives up to its namesake with its beautifully manicured trails, camps, and 18-hole golf course. The park has 24 miles of trails for equestrians and hikers, and the golf course is known for its tricky water obstacles. The opening hole is known as "the hardest starting hole in Georgia" but, despite the challenging course, the park name is thought to derive from either the slaves that once worked the land or the Native Americans who found that area of the stream too trying to maneuver across.
