Welcome to Idlewilde Event Center at Indian Springs State Park


Conveniently located near I-75 in middle Georgia, Indian Springs is one of the oldest state parks in the United States and a popular spot for outdoor recreation.

Idlewilde Event Center at Indian Springs State Park is available for reservations. The name is derived from the majestic house on the property that serves as the park office and visitor center; and is on the National Historic Register. With another nod to past, the individual rooms in the center are even named after the historic hotels that once thrived in the village of Indian Springs. Idlewilde has 20,000 square feet of event space including a massive lake side porch with beautiful views of the water. With a capacity of 500 people, Idlewilde can accommodate a variety of events, from birthday parties and family reunions, to weddings and corporate retreats. Additional features include a catering kitchen and audio visual capabilities in every room.

Archery - Panola Mountain State Park

Panola Mountain Logo

The archery ranges are open from 7AM to sunset. Daily passes can be purchased from the Nature Center from 8AM – 5PM each day. We also have a brown Iron Ranger at the start of the trail to the static range where passes can be purchased with cash only. This works the same as buying a ParkPass. We do not provide rental equipment for the ranges, you must bring your own.

This range is made possible by a partnership with the Georgia DNR's Wildlife Resources Division.
