The Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers combine to form Lake Seminole, the most scenic spot in Three Rivers State Park. The land you see across the lake is Georgia. Below the Jim Woodruff Dam the waters become the Apalachicola River.

“It's known for peaceful seclusion on the shores of beautiful Lake Seminole," said Chris Hawthorne, park manager.

The area is abundant with wildlife. White-tailed deer are frequently seen throughout the park. You often catch glimpses of them while walking along the three miles of nature trails within Three Rivers. The natural beauty is what attracts visitors.

"Nature. We just love outdoors and the animals," said Julia Arthur, a park guest.

Boating and canoeing are also popular activities on the calm lake waters, and if fishing is one of your pastimes, this is the place to do it.

"Bass fishermen love it here. They have a number of tournaments on Lake Seminole every year," said Hawthorne.

When you're ready to prepare your catch or just want to relax, the picnic areas should fit the bill, or you could just lay a blanket out on the lawn and enjoy the view.

"It's very pretty. Very pretty," said Arthur.
