Is it safe to swim in the lake?

Our lake is very clean, and you can definitely swim in it! We have a beach area and a sandy bottom that makes playing in the water even more fun. We have a variety of boats that can be used with the purchase of the rec pass ($10 for the duration of your visit). Kayaks, inner tubes, stand-up paddle boards, kids flat kayaks, and row boats are all available.

Are there alligators in the lake?

This may be one of the most asked questions. In fifteen years of owning the park, we have never seen an alligator on site or in the lake. Alligators prefer water that connects to other bodies of water. Since our lake doesn't connect to a swamp or river, they would not be interested in hiking over dry land to get to our lake when they have options that are better suited for them elsewhere.

Where can I get groceries?

There is a Dollar General 4 minutes south of Beaver Run. Metter (10 min) offers a grocery store, hardware store, library, post office, antique shops, dollar stores, a number of cute shops downtown, and a handful of restaurants to try. Statesboro (20 min) has a Walmart, Lowes, Aldi, Publix, Food Lion, and all the other options you would expect from a university town.

Where is the nearest hospital?

While we hope you don't need it, we know that emergencies happen. Metter has an urgent care and a hospital with an ER. Statesboro has several urgent care facilities and a hospital with an ER.
