Little Ocmulgee State Park is a 1,360 acre (5.50 km²) Georgia state park located 2 miles north of McRae on the Little Ocmulgee River. Part of the park was initially built by the CCC during the Great Depression, around the natural diversion of the Little Ocmulgee into a lake. This is a 256 acre (1.04 km²) lake with beach, and the park includes a 60 room lodge, and a championship 18-hole golf course plus pro shop. The soil around the Ocmulgee River and the Little Ocmulgee is a fine white sand, and therefore the lake has its own "beach sand." Also within the park is the 2.6 mile long Oak Ridge Trail, allowing visitors to see native wildlife and plants.
