Hard Labor Creek State Park is a park located in Morgan County, Georgia. The closest town is Rutledge, GA. The park is named after Hard Labor Creek. The name of the creek is unclear; it was either named by Native Americans who found the creek very difficult to ford or by slaves who were forced to work along the creek.

Morgan County has a humid, subtropical climate, which means that the summer has high temperatures and the winters are fairly mild. Rutledge is about 700 feet above sea level; so, flooding typically isn’t a problem, but it’s not so high that snow is very common. Northern Georgia is often cooler than parts farther south.

From Hard Labor Creek State Park, Rutledge campers are able to reach Athens, GA in about 45 minutes. Macon is a little bit more than an hour away, and Atlanta is just under an hour away.
