About Indian Springs State Park
Indian Springs State Park is a 528-acre (2.14 km2) Georgia state park located near Jackson and Flovilla that is one of the oldest state parks in the nation. The park is named for its several springs, which the Creek Indians used for centuries to heal the sick. The water from these springs is said to have a sulfur smell and taste. It was acquired from the Creek Indians by the state through the Treaty of Indian Springs (1825) and the Treaty of Washington (1826). Thereafter, Indian Springs has been operated continuously by the state as a public park, although it did not gain the title "State Park" until 1931.
