Ocmulgee National Park and Preserve Initiative

The Ocmulgee National Park and Preserve is one step closer to becoming a reality. On January 25, 2021, the National Park Service (NPS) launched public commenting on a Special Resource Study of the Ocmulgee River corridor between Macon and Hawkinsville, Georgia.

The NPS outreach supports the Special Resource Study that will assess historical, cultural, and environmental information about the corridor gathered through research and public input. The NPS study area covers roughly 50 river miles in Bibb, Bleckley, Houston, Pulaski, and Twiggs counties in middle Georgia.

This Special Resource Study is an essential step in the overall process to establish a National Park and Preserve as it evaluates the eligibility of an area for potential designation as a unit of the National Park System. The National Park Service prepares the study for the Secretary of the Interior, and the findings and any recommendations are presented to Congress.
