Description

Fort Yargo State Park is a 1,816-acre (7.35 km2) Georgia state park located in Winder, situated between Athens and Atlanta. The park features a log fort built in 1792 by settlers, for protection against the local natives, the Creek and Cherokee. There is a 260-acre (1.1 km2) lake with a public beach. The park also hosts Camp Will-A-Way, an accessible camp designed for individuals with developmental disabilities, in partnership with Camp Twin Lakes. Camp Will-A-Way is provided by Camp Twin Lakes and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Opened in 1971 and renovated in 2009, the camp provides a 250-bed camping facility to provide for the special needs population.
