There are so many great state parks in Georgia, and many feature uniquely interesting bridges. Watson Mill Bridge State Park centers around the historic covered bridge that shares its name. The swinging bridge over the canyon at Tallulah Gorge State Park is amazing, if a bit terrifying. One state park with bridges in Georgia that doesn’t get quite as much publicity as those two is Indian Springs State Park in Flovilla. This beautiful park is a great spot for a getaway – it’s got a gorgeous spring with a charming stone bridge over a babbling brook, plus an intriguing bridge to nowhere that is certainly a conversation starter!

Indian Springs State Park spans 528 acres in Butts County. It's home to several springs, including several that smell of sulfur and were used by Native Americans to heal the sick.

It is possibly the oldest state park in the nation, as it was given to the state by the Creek Indians in the 1825 Treaty of Indian Springs. It did not officially receive the "state park" designation until 1931.
