Our Location

Stewart is located in the south west part of Georgia; it is a rural setting near the small town of Lumpkin, Georgia. We are located about 35 or 36 miles from a number of larger communities that offer big city services and living, and we are a 2.5 hour drive from world famous Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta of course has many different cultural and entertainment opportunities.

More locally, for the sports person that loves the great outdoors, Georgia provides all of what you can ask for, including fishing, hunting, cross county biking (mountain bike or motorcycle), hiking, mountains in the northern part of Georgia, and plenty of Pine forests and lakes to go around. From the Stewart site, you are only a morning's drive south to the Gulf of Mexico, or east to the Atlantic Ocean.

Places to go, People to see

Lumpkin, Georgia was incorporated in 1829, and named after two-term governor Wilson Lumpkin. The town serves as the county seat for Stewart County.

The major attraction in this small, quaint town is Westville an extensive living history museum which portrays a 1850s Georgia village. The village is comprised of over thirty authentically furnished buildings, and offers visitors the opportunity to become fully engaged in a Georgian pre-civil war community. Westville also offers a wide-ranging series of special events. This is truly a place where natural beauty, education and fun converge.

Another popular spot is Providence Canyon Conservation Park. This 1000-acre plus park is simply magnificent, and can't be missed. Often referred to as Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon," the park consists of a series of gullies and canyons that boast pink, orange, red and purple hues. Its seven-mile backcountry trail is a hikers dream.

Nearby Florence Marina State Park, located on beautiful Lake Walter F. George, will appeal to those who enjoy water sports. Boat slips, a lighted fishing pier, nature trail, playground, and fantastic interpretive center only add to the park's many amenities. This is an excellent stop for those who enjoy bird watching too!
