The area around the marina is a great place to watch for swallows and songbirds and the two short trails on either side of the marina are a great place to look for warblers and woodpeckers.

"Florence Marina State Park, once home to Native Americans and the old town of Florence, transports you to its agricultural and commercial past, and immerses you in nature by walking forested trails, visiting the Kirbo Interpretive Center, or fishing from the natural deep water marina where the powerful Chattahoochee River meets Lake Walter F. George."

Sitting at the northern end of 45,000-acre Lake Walter F. George (also called Lake Eufaula) this quiet park offers the perfect getaway for those who love water sports. It is adjacent to a natural deep-water marina with an accessible fishing pier, boat slips, and a boat ramp. Overnight guests can choose from a variety of accommodations, including fully equipped cottages, small efficiency units, and a modern campground.

Florence Marina is popular with nature enthusiasts as well. Birders are likely to see herons, egrets, and even bald eagles. The Kirbo Interpretive Center showcases area wildlife and plants, local history, and Native Americans, including artifacts from the prehistoric Paleo-Indian period through the early 20th century. Eight miles southeast is Providence Canyon State Park, known as Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon.

There is a $5.00 parking fee for day-use areas.

The area around the office and marina would be wheelchair accessible however the nature trails are not. The marina and day use areas would allow you to see a variety of birds from your car. The trails on either side of the marina are fairly rough and made of dirt with roots and rocks.
