This is a list of state parks in Georgia. The park system of the US state of Georgia was founded in 1931 with Indian Springs State Park and Vogel State Park. Indian Springs has been operated by the state as a public park since 1825, making it perhaps the oldest state park in the United States.{{cite web|url= https://gastateparks.org/sites/default/files/parks/pdf/indiansprings/Indian-Springs-State-Park-history.pdf|title= Indian Springs State Park History|author= |website= Georgia State Parks|publisher= Georgia|access-date= 14 December 2022|quote= |archive-date= January 8, 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230108040319/https://www.gastateparks.org/sites/default/files/parks/pdf/indiansprings/Indian-Springs-State-Park-history.pdf|url-status= live}} The newest state park is Don Carter State Park.{{cite web|title=Don Carter State Park|url=http://gastateparks.org/DonCarter|website=State Parks & Historic Sites|access-date=September 24, 2017|language=en|date=21 February 2017|archive-date=September 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170922015530/http://gastateparks.org/DonCarter|url-status=live}}

Since the Great Recession, Georgia has halved the budget for the Division of State Parks and Historic Sites and turned over the management of five of the parks to Coral Hospitality, a Florida-based hotel and resort management company. The five parks are Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge, Unicoi State Park & Lodge, Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge, Georgia Veterans State Park, and George T. Bagby State Park.{{cite web|last1=Omarzu|first1=Tim|title=Georgia tries to balance cuts with need to draw visitors to state parks|url=http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2013/may/29/state-tries-to-balance-cuts-with-need-to/109340/|website=TimesFreePress.com|access-date=September 25, 2017|date=May 29, 2013|archive-date=September 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926143100/http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2013/may/29/state-tries-to-balance-cuts-with-need-to/109340/|url-status=live}}
