I
recently
visited
a
charming
little
park
that
I
thoroughly
enjoyed.
The
park
is
located
by
Parrish
Mill
pond
of
15
Mile
Creek,
and
the
highlight
of
the
park
is
the
unique
combo
mill
and
covered
bridge
from
1880
that
has
been
nicely
restored.
The
museum
sign
over
the
doors
adds
a
historical
touch
to
the
place.
However,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
complaints.
Although
Georgia
took
the
effort
to
install
glass
windows
to
view
the
operational
part
of
the
mill,
the
glass
was
dirty
from
the
inside,
and
there
were
no
lights
inside
the
room.
Additionally,
there
were
no
display
or
historical
signs,
and
the
rooms
were
virtually
empty,
despite
having
the
largest
windows.
Even
the
auxiliary
diesel
added
at
the
beginning
of
the
last
century
and
one
of
the
turbines
on
the
outside
had
no
information
available.
To
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
history
of
the
park,
I
recommend
picking
up
a
printed
history
from
the
gift
shop
first.
Speaking
of
the
gift
shop,
it
was
pretty
useless
in
terms
of
commodities
for
campers,
and
there
were
few
snacks
or
drinks
available.
They
only
had
a
small
assortment
of
souvenir
trinkets.
Fortunately,
the
park
offers
canoe
and
kayak
rentals,
although
reservations
are
needed
during
peak
season.
There
are
also
hiking
trails
available
to
explore,
and
the
pond
is
a
typical
Cyprus
Pond,
home
to
a
variety
of
animals.
The
park
also
provides
RV
and
cottage
rentals,
as
well
as
primitive
and
hook-up
campsites.
Additionally,
there
are
picnic
areas,
tables,
and
an
event
center
with
a
kitchen.
Overall,
it
was
a
lovely
place
to
visit,
and
I
would
recommend
it
to
anyone
looking
to
enjoy
nature
and
history.
