George T. Bagby State Park is a 700-acre (280 ha) state park located in southwestern Georgia on the shore of Walter F. George Lake. The park offers a 60-room lodge, conference center, restaurant, cottages, and features the 18 hole Meadow Links Golf Course, as well as a marina and boat ramp. There is a 3-mile (4.8 km) nature trail, and fishing and boating on Lake Walter F. George.[1]

In 2013, George T. Bagby State Park was privatized and its management handed over to Coral Hospitality, a Florida-based hotel and resort management company.[2] Its official name was changed to George T. Bagby State Park & Lodge.
