TRAILS & AMENITIES IN BALLS FERRY PARK IN WILKINSON CO

complete

This project is the implementation of Phase I facilities and amenities for Ball's Ferry State Historic Park, including a new two lane park access road, a new boat launch facility and new day use areas. Located along SR 57 in Wilkinson County, Ball's Ferry State Historic Park contains 538 acres on the west bank of the Oconee River. The existing Ball's Ferry Landing area has been identified as an interpretive area to be preserved for historic and cultural resources. Old Ball's Ferry Road/CR 123 intersects SR 57 and proceeds into Ball's Ferry State Historic Park as a two lane variable width dirt road that provides access to an existing boat launch and small day-use recreation area that is located adjacent to the historic ferry crossing. The purpose of this project is to physically enhance the access route to the park and implement the proposed park facilities.
