From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General Coffee State Park is a 1,511 acre (6.11 km²) Georgia state park located near Douglas. The park is named after politician, farmer, and military leader General John E. Coffee. The park plays host to many rare and endangered species, especially in the cypress swamps through which the Seventeen-Mile River winds. Attractions include a corn crib, tobacco barn, and cane mill. Visitors can stay overnight at the Burnham House, a renovated and elegantly redecorated 19th Century cabin.
