Our Volunteer Heroes

Black Rock Buddies have been hard at work enhancing the beauty of their park. This dedicated group of volunteers recently completed gravel installation along the Lake Trail, improving the path for hikers to enjoy during the colorful fall season. Their efforts help protect the trail and keep it in great shape for years to come. Volunteer projects like these reflect the heart and care poured into Georgia's State Park. Join a Friends group, and be part of the difference—volunteer today and help our parks grow and thrive.
