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.[1] The park is host to many rare and endangered species, especially in the cypress swamps through which the Seventeen Mile River winds.[2]
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.
