Explore the remains of the Carnegie Mansion on Cumberland Island.

The Cumberland Island National Seashore hosts a complex ecological system of animal and plant life, including abandoned Southern plantations, on Georgia's largest barrier island.

The island is 17.5 miles long and covers 36,415 acres, with 16,850 acres of marsh, mud flats, and tidal creeks.

In the park's quiet forests, salt marshes and beaches are a haven for hiking, beachcombing, naturalist programs, swimming, fishing and backpacking.

Reservations are required for ferry service to the island. All supplies must be purchased before leaving the mainland.

Reservations are also required to camp on the island. The developed campground has picnic tables, grills, restrooms and showers. Backcountry campsites have water that needs to be treated.

Reservations are taken from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays only by phone or by fax.
