Bainbridge Georgia Travel Information
Bainbridge, Georgia was incorporated in 1829. Located in the
southwest corner of Georgia, it sits on the banks of the Flint River,
near popular Lake Seminole. There was once an Indian village known as
Pucknawhitla on the current site of Bainbridge. While Bainbridge
offers beautiful historic homes, nice walking tours, and several
festivals, it is perhaps best known for its numerous recreational
outlets. Seminole State Park is located on the banks of Lake
Seminole. This park is very popular with those who enjoy hunting.
Sport fishing, deer and duck hunting are some of the activities
enjoyed here. In fact, Lake Seminole is considered one of the best
bass fishing spots in the entire US. Other activities include water
skiing, canoeing, bicycling, and miniature golf. The park’s inviting
2.2-mile nature trail makes exploring southwest Georgia’s wildlife
easy. The gopher tortoise, Georgia’s only native tortoise, calls
Seminole State Park its home. Cottages and campgrounds are
available. Bainbridge is located at the intersections of
Highways 84 and 27, about 15 miles north of the Florida state line.
