This is a '''list of state parks in Georgia'''. The park system of the US state of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] was founded in 1931 with [[Indian Springs State Park]] and [[Vogel State Park]]. Indian Springs has been operated by the state as a public park since 1825, making it perhaps the oldest state park in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://gastateparks.org/sites/default/files/parks/pdf/indiansprings/Indian-Springs-State-Park-history.pdf|title= Indian Springs State Park History|author= <!--Not stated-->|website= Georgia State Parks|publisher= Georgia|access-date= 14 December 2022|quote= |archive-date= January 8, 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230108040319/https://www.gastateparks.org/sites/default/files/parks/pdf/indiansprings/Indian-Springs-State-Park-history.pdf|url-status= live}}</ref> The newest state park is [[Don Carter State Park]].<ref name=doncarter>{{cite web|title=Don Carter State Park|url=http://gastateparks.org/DonCarter|website=State Parks & Historic Sites|access-date=September 24, 2017|language=en|date=21 February 2017|archive-date=September 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170922015530/http://gastateparks.org/DonCarter|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since the [[Great Recession]], Georgia has halved the budget for the Division of State Parks and Historic Sites and turned over the management of five of the parks to Coral Hospitality, a Florida-based hotel and resort management company. The five parks are [[Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge]], [[Unicoi State Park & Lodge]], [[Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge]], [[Georgia Veterans State Park]], and [[George T. Bagby State Park]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Omarzu|first1=Tim|title=Georgia tries to balance cuts with need to draw visitors to state parks|url=http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2013/may/29/state-tries-to-balance-cuts-with-need-to/109340/|website=TimesFreePress.com|access-date=September 25, 2017|date=May 29, 2013|archive-date=September 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926143100/http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2013/may/29/state-tries-to-balance-cuts-with-need-to/109340/|url-status=live}}</ref>
