A 375 acre lake is popular with boaters and skiers, and fishing for bass, crappie, catfish and bream is excellent. Paddlers can rent canoes and kayaks to explore this beautiful lake lined with fragrant water lilies and tupelo trees. Guided pontoon boat tours are sometimes offered during events. The beachside pavilion, picnic shelters and group shelters are scenic spots for parties, reunions and other celebrations. Reed Bingham is less than six miles from I-75, making it a relaxing stop for travelers. It was named for Amos Reed Bingham who was instrumental in having the park established.
Visitors to this pretty park usually see abundant wildlife, including species such as gopher tortoises, yellow bellied sliders and indigo snakes. Nesting bald eagles are often seen in winter. American alligators are often seen sunning along the lake’s edge. During winter, thousands of “buzzards,” actually black vultures and turkey vultures, roost in the trees and soar overhead. Nearly 80 percent of the Coastal Plain’s plant community can be found along the park’s Coastal Plain Nature Trail, making this park’s habitat some of the most diverse in the country.
Located 6 miles west of Adel on Georgia Highway 37 via I-75 exit #39, and 14 miles east of Moultrie from U.S. Highway 319.
I didn't do much while I was there. Our family just rented one of the buildings to have our Thanksgiving dinner there. However, there are camping trails and cabins that you can reserve for under $50 for up to a couple of weeks. I was told the fishing out there in excellent in the spring. .
Beautifully maintained park. Enjoyed the trails and sunsets. We got to see some wild life like deer, turtles, and squirrels throughout the day.
Kids enjoyed taking pictures of nature and sunsets. Went bike riding and hiking. Having a paper map was helpful. It is a good place to come for a picnic or barbecue since there grills through out the park. Next time we will bring a putter for the mini golf that is inside park.
Extremely clean bathrooms and bath houses, the roads, campsites, and all recreational areas are also very clean! The hosts are friendly and there are pet friendly areas all around, I love this place!!! The picnic areas have wood grills for cooking as well as campsites have fire rings with grill covers. If your going through or even living in georgia I strongly recommend everyone stay here at least once in their lives!
