F.D. Roosevelt State Park is an 8,874 acre (35.91 km²) Georgia state park located near Pine Mountain and Warm Springs. The park is named for former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who sought a treatment for his paralytic illness in nearby Warm Springs. Several structures in the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Great Depression, including a stone swimming pool and Roosevelt's favorite picnic spot overlooking the magnificent valley below. F.D. Roosevelt State Park is Georgia's largest state park, allowing for the containment of the 23 mile (37.01 km) long Pine Mountain Trail, a scenic nature trail that winds through both hardwood and pine forests. In addition, the park contains two stocked fishing lakes and a historic trading post.
