The surrounding woodland is threaded with hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. The park is also home to Heritage Farm complete with a cane mill, tobacco mill, and farmyard animals that the kids can feed.

Traveling slightly farther southwest with the RV rental from Hazlehurst, you’ll soon come to Reed Bingham State Park with a 375-acre freshwater lake alongside Interstate 75.

The tranquil lake is framed by beautiful tupelo trees and waterlilies while the banks are inhabited by gopher tortoises, indigo snakes, and a wide array of amphibians. You can also keep your eyes peeled for turkey vultures and black vultures which nest in the treetops during the wintertime.
