Indian Springs State Park is a 528 acre (2.14 km²) Georgia state park located near Jackson and Flovilla. The park is named for its several springs, which the Creek Indians used for centuries to heal the sick. Indian Springs is thought to be the oldest state park in the nation. 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. The area became a resort town in the 1800s. It became an official \"State Forest Park\" in 1927. In 1931, along with Vogel State Park, it became a founding unit of Georgia\'s state park system.

Visitors are still allowed to sample the park\'s spring water, all the while enjoying swimming, fishing, and boating. Several structures within the park were built during the Great Depression by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps. The park also contains a 105 acre (0.42 km²) lake consistently stocked with fish, as well as a 3/4 mile (1.21 km) nature trail.

The park features a small museum that is open seasonally. Exhibits include the park\'s natural history, the resort era, activities of the CCC, and the history and culture of the Creek Indians.
