The Rock Hawk Effigy is maintained by Georgia Power and is an outdoor classroom with educational displays along the trails that surround the effigy. The wetlands and the effigy can be observed from viewing towers.

The trails cover 15 miles and are divided into five sections. These sections are blue, orange, yellow, green and red.

There are two parking lots and kiosks. They are located at the blue and orange trail.

There is camping available at Lawrence Shoals but it's not open year round. We chose to camp a few miles away at Oconee Springs.
