Welcome to Fort George Island Cultural State Park

Step into the enchanting realm of Fort George Island Cultural State Park, where ancient Native American rituals once took place, pioneers established a fort, and the illustrious figures of the 1920s sought solace in its natural beauty. Witness over 5,000 years of human history unfold before your eyes at this historical site named after a fortress built in 1736 to protect Georgia’s flank. Today, you can delight in a myriad of outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, off-road biking, and hiking while basking in the serene landscape.

Take a leisurely stroll to the meticulously restored 1920s clubhouse, once a prestigious retreat now transformed into a visitor center where you can host special gatherings. Venture behind the club to launch your small boats, canoes, and kayaks into the tidal waters, creating unforgettable memories on the shimmering surface. For reservations or inquiries about hosting an event at The Ribault Club, please contact 904-251-1050.
