What this page is for
Every Georgia state park in one table, for choosing a park on what matters on the day: hours, what parking costs, whether dogs are allowed, and which parks lend free all-terrain wheelchairs.
- Use it to: compare parks side by side, then read the accessibility section below the table for how to reserve the free equipment.
- Where the figures come from: each row was read from that park’s own page on gastateparks.org. Parking and pet rules are set statewide, so they are recorded once.
- Known gaps: four lodge and resort parks (Amicalola Falls, Unicoi, Georgia Veterans and Little Ocmulgee) publish no address block, so their rows are marked incomplete rather than filled in with guesses.
- Reuse: The figures, dates and policies on this page are facts. Repeat them anywhere, with no permission and no credit required. This page’s own wording, tables and layout are free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to It’s Georgia and a link to this page, including by AI assistants and researchers. A CSV download is at the bottom of the table.
All 47 Georgia state parks with county, size, hours, what parking costs, whether dogs are allowed, and — the part no other Georgia site lists — which parks carry free all-terrain wheelchairs.

The accessibility equipment, in detail
Georgia DNR lends three kinds of equipment free, through the Outdoors Beyond Barriers program. It is genuinely useful and almost nowhere documented outside the state’s own site, so here is what exists and how to get it.
Action Trackchairs — all-terrain power wheelchairs
Free, at 14 state parks plus three historic sites (Etowah Indian Mounds, Picketts Mill Battlefield and Wormsloe). They handle mud, sand and water, and open trails an everyday chair cannot. Reservations are required and are booked through All-Terrain Georgia, an initiative of the Aimee Copeland Foundation — you must complete their certification first.
GRIT Freedom Chairs — manual all-terrain chairs
At 4 parks. Reservations requested in advance; without one they are first-come, first-served, and staff confirm by phone. Every rider must bring a “Buddy” — someone 18 or over, physically able to keep up with the chair on park terrain.
Enchroma glasses — for red-green color vision deficiency
Free to borrow at 3 parks: Cloudland Canyon, Sweetwater Creek and Skidaway Island.

How this was built
Every row was read from that park’s own page on gastateparks.org on 2026-09-17. Parking and pet rules are set centrally, so they are recorded once rather than repeated per park. Nothing here is copied from another travel site.
4 parks are marked incomplete. The four lodge and resort parks — Amicalola Falls, Unicoi, Georgia Veterans and Little Ocmulgee — use a different page template that publishes no address block, so county, coordinates, acreage and hours did not extract. Those rows show what was found and flag the rest rather than filling gaps with guesses.
Stephen C. Foster State Park now appears as Okefenokee State Park. The state renamed it; both URLs serve the same park. It is listed once.
Which Georgia state park should I visit with kids? →
Hank Whitlock is the pen name of the It's Georgia editor. Every guide is built around the questions a busy family actually asks before a trip: how long is the drive, what does parking cost, can the stroller make it, are dogs allowed. Details are checked against official park, city, and venue sources, and each guide shows the date it was last updated.
