History
Hamburg State Park in Georgia, near Jewell and Warthen, is a 741-acre park centered on 225-acre Hamburg Lake and known for both recreation and rural history. Fishing is one of its main attractions, while campsites, shelters, and a nature trail make it a broader outdoor destination. Its most distinctive historic features are a 1921 water-powered grist mill that still operates and a museum with antique agricultural tools and household appliances from rural Georgia. Together they preserve a picture of the region’s working past. The park takes its name from the former industrial town of Hamburg, South Carolina.
