Hamburg State Park Drone Rule

Hamburg State Park is located near Mitchell, Georgia and is managed by Georgia State Parks. The park is known for its historic 1920s grist mill, Hamburg Lake, wildlife viewing opportunities, and outdoor recreation facilities.

Georgia State Parks regulations prohibit launching, landing, or operating drones within Hamburg State Park unless authorization has been granted through an approved permit or waiver process.

This restriction applies throughout the mapped park boundary, including campground areas, picnic facilities, fishing locations, boat access areas, trail systems, the historic grist mill complex, and other visitor recreation areas managed by the park.

Because Hamburg State Park preserves historic structures associated with the former Hamburg settlement and provides habitat for wildlife around Hamburg Lake, pilots should obtain authorization from Georgia State Parks before conducting drone operations within park boundaries.
