Crooked River State Park is nestled atop a bluff overlooking the Crooked River. The park is comprised of 500 acres of longleaf pine, live oak canopies, salt marsh and forests of pine, sweet gum, southern bay, southern magnolia and palmetto. Approximately two-thirds of the park is surrounded by salt marsh and the Crooked River.

Because Crooked River State Park is located so close to the inter-coastal waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, the Crooked River along the park is a body of salt water. A wide variety of fish and waterfowl utilize the waterway throughout the year. Examples of fish caught in the waterway and Crooked River are Red Drum, Spotted Bass, Black Drum, Spotted Sea Trout, Catfish, Mullet, Red Snapper, Sheephead, Flounder, and Croaker.

Georgia's Fish & Game Laws require that persons 16 years of age and older must be in possession of a valid fishing license while fishing in either fresh or salt water. The license you purchase is valid for both fresh and salt water fishing. This license also applies to the taking of oysters, crab, muscles, shrimp and other shellfish. License's can be obtained at the Park Office as well as a copy of the laws.

Visitors may fish from the floating dock and the beach (when the tide is out). There is absolutely NO FISHING FROM THE BLUFF! Most people find fishing is best from a boat.
