LAGRANGE, Ga. – Oakfuskee Conservation Center, located on a point of land with views of West Point Lake and Pyne Road Park’s forests, will be opening its doors in November 2023.
The multi-use, two-story facility is near LaGrange, Ga., an hour south of Atlanta, and will be a suitable choice for weddings, corporate functions, celebrations, family reunions, fishing tournaments, and outdoor events. The 25,000-square-foot facility will host events of all sizes and can accommodate 400 guests.
Oakfuskee Conservation Center includes a grand foyer with a fireplace, veranda, indoor banquet area, outdoor covered banquet area, outdoor pavilion, downstairs patio, brides’ and grooms’ rooms, catering kitchen, offices, new service roads, sidewalks, and nature trails. The conservation center will also be the new home for Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. Additional plans call for an outdoor amphitheater to host sustainable food festivals and concerts, a wildlife viewing deck, and the construction of a new dock is also underway.
Visitors can take in nature with activities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, and kayaking. Birdwatching stations will also be scattered throughout, allowing guests to observe a wide variety of avian species in their natural habitat. And for those looking for a bit of friendly competition, there is a disc golf course.
Patrick Crews, the chairman of the Troup County Board of Commissioners, says the new event facility will be the first of its kind in the area, and he credits state and local organizations for partially funding the facility. “We are extremely honored by the grant from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Callaway Foundation that made this project possible,” he says.
