Friends of General Coffee are helping this South Georgia park shine. From hosting the Pioneer Harvest Festival and reenactments to sprucing up trails and tackling hands-on projects, their efforts are evident throughout the park. The bathhouse in Campground 2 recently got a fresh coat of paint, giving it a clean and refreshed look for visitors. These efforts reflect the heart of what Friends groups do best—working together to make great parks even better. Join a Friends group and be part of the difference—volunteer today and help our parks grow and thrive.
