Elijah Clark State Park is a 447 acre (1.81 km²) Georgia state park located near Lincolnton, on the western shore of Lake Strom Thurmond. The park is named for Elijah Clarke, a frontiersman and Georgia war hero who led a force of pioneers during the American Revolution. A newly renovated log cabin displays furniture and tools dating back to 1780. The park is also home to the final resting place of Clark and his wife, Hannah. The park's location on the lake makes it a haven for fishermen.
