Kolomoki Mounds State Park


 Field Trip Information


Serene wiregrass scenes and sacred ground shaped by the Indigenous community that once thrived at Kolomoki Mounds State Park nearly 2000 years ago continues to attract those wishing to experience the Lower Chattahoochee River Valley’s scenic and cultural legacy at the Civilian Conservation Corps built park that welcomes today’s visitor.

This historically significant park is the oldest and largest Woodland Indian site in the southeastern United States, occupied by Native Americans from 350 to 900 C.E. Mound A is the largest Woodland-period platform mound in Eastern North America, standing 57-feet high, it dominates two smaller burial mounds and several ceremonial mounds.

Kolomoki Mounds is also known for its wide range of outdoor activities. Two lakes provide fishing and boating, and a campground is nestled under hardwoods and pines. Hikers can choose from three scenic trails. The Spruce Pine Trail offers views of lakes Yohola and Kolomoki, while the Trillium Trail and White Oak Trail meander through the forest. Children will enjoy the playground, pedal boats and miniature golf.
