Created from land donated to the state in 1970, this 1,510-acre park was named for John Coffee, a participant in the Creek American Indian wars and a U.S. Congressman.
The park is rich with natural, recreational and cultural atrractions. A major draw is Heritage Farm, a working replica of a 19th-century farm complete with livestock and period buildings that have been moved to the park.
Seventeen-Mile River feeds four small lakes and a cypress swamp, which is home to a fascinating variety of wildlife. Also, the endangered indigo snake and gopher tortoise are found in a sandhill ridge preserve above the wetlands.
Recreational uses include hiking and biking on four miles of trails, fishing in four-acre John Coffee Lake and in the river, and swimming. There are canoe and bike rentals available.
Accommodations include five rental cottages, a group lodge and 50 sites for tents, trailers and RVs.
