Florence Marina State Park
|
Stewart County In 1986, with 72.4 acres of land donated by the shipping business W. C. Bradley Company, the Department of Natural Resources opened Florence Marina State Park located on Lake Walter F. George. The remaining land for the park is leased from the Army Corp of Engineers, which manages the lake, bringing total acreage to 173. In October 1989 the Kirbo Interpretive Center was donated by the Kirbo family in honor of T. M. and Irene B. Kirbo, one of the founders of the city of Florence. The park provides access to Lake Walter F. George, a 45,000-acre lake used for fishing, skiing, birding and other activities. The park also provides education on Native American history, early American history of Stewart County, and native wildlife.
