F.D. Roosevelt State Park is an 8,874 acre (35.91 km²) Georgia state park located near Pine Mountain and Warm Springs. The park is named for former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who sought a treatment for his paralytic illness in nearby Warm Springs. The western portion of the park, formerly named Pine Mountain State Park, was named a National Historic Landmark in 1997. Several structures in the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Great Depression, including a stone swimming pool and Roosevelt's favorite picnic spot at Dowdell's Knob, overlooking the magnificent valley below. President Roosevelt would take polio patients suffering from depression along on picnics at Dowdell's Knob [Alter, Jonathan: The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope. Simon & Schuster, New York: 2006, p62.] . F.D. Roosevelt State Park is Georgia's largest state park, allowing for the containment of the 23 mile (37.01 km) long Pine Mountain Trail, a scenic nature trail that winds through both hardwood and pine forests. The Pine Mountain Trail is wholly maintained by the volunteers of the Pine Mountain Trail Association. In addition, the park contains two stocked fishing lakes and a historic trading post.
